The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $1,332,996 Cooperative Agreement (U01) grant under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research (CFDA 93.393) program to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) to develop computational tools for accurately inferring genetic ancestry from cancer-derived molecular data. The project aims to enable large-scale analysis of cancer genomics data to study the relationship between cancer biology and patient genetic ancestry, without requiring the patient's...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.393 - Cancer Cause and Prevention Research) provides $942,442 in funding to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc. over the period of September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2031. The goal of this research is to identify the mechanisms driving rapid evolution of cancer genomes, particularly through processes like chromothripsis and chromoplexy. The project will leverage single-cell genomics methods developed by the...
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $455,111 Project Grant under CFDA 93.393 "Cancer Cause and Prevention Research" to the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research in New York. The 2-year grant, awarded on September 5, 2023, will support research to "Leverage the Hidden Genome to Recover the Missing Heritability of Cancer." The project aims to 1) estimate additional heritability that can be explained by the "hidden genome" (regions of unknown...
This $416,745 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393), aims to develop an Integrative Analysis and Visualization Platform for Cancer Regulatory Genomics. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year project include: Creation of a Regulatory-Element-Target-Gene Atlas to enable researchers to explore connections between regulatory elements and cancer-associated...
This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.396 - Cancer Biology Research) provides $872,555 to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to enhance and further develop informatics methods for long-read cancer genome sequencing. The project aims to catalyze long-read cancer genomics by improving bioinformatic tools for detecting and characterizing somatic genetic alterations from long-read sequencing data. This will be achieved through three main activities: 1)...
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $432,304 Project Grant under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, Health Sciences Division, to develop enhanced cancer risk prediction models for underrepresented Black and Hispanic populations.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $766,773 Project Grant under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research (CFDA 93.393) program to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc. (DFCI) for the project "Inclusion of Diverse and Medically Underserved Populations in the Design and Implementation of the PREMMPLUS Patient-Facing App." The grant aims to evaluate a patient-facing mobile app version of the PREMMPLUS multigene cancer risk assessment model in diverse community health...
This Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.393 - Cancer Cause and Prevention Research) provides $635,033 to The Johns Hopkins University to advance research on the genetic basis of a cancer-prone syndrome caused by long telomere length. The research aims to identify additional novel mechanisms underlying this syndrome, define the role of genetic variants in familial cancer predisposition, and examine how long telomere length influences cancer genomic profiles. This...

The Department of Health and Human Services, National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $720,252 Cooperative Agreement (U01CA296432) to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc. through the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393). The project, titled "Characterizing Genetic Risk of Cancer Across Diverse Populations Through Multi-Ancestry Epigenome Profiling and Chromatin QTL Discovery," aims to identify novel cancer-associated chromatin quantitative trait loci (cQTLs) in ancestrally diverse populations, and leverage those cQTLs to improve the accuracy of polygenic risk scores for cancer screening in non-European ancestry populations. The project period runs from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2030.
