The research utilizes an electronic health record (EHR)-based dataset from a community health center network...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary Albert Einstein College of Medicine received a $168,000 Project Grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393), effective July 1, 2025, with completion scheduled for June 30, 2027. The award funds research to examine risk factors and develop predictive models for multiple recurrences of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The research leverages existing demographic, lifestyle,...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $807,644 Project Grant on August 13, 2025, under the Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research program (CFDA 93.394) to develop and pilot DESCANSO, a culturally adapted cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention for Spanish-speaking Latino cancer patients. The intervention addresses a symptom cluster of depression, insomnia, and fatigue (DIF) that disproportionately affects Latino cancer patients compared to...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded $185,760 to the University of Chicago under the Cancer Research Manpower program (CFDA 93.398) on September 15, 2025, for a research project titled "Targeting Glycerol Metabolism in Anti-Tumor Immunity." The award supports a three-year project (concluding August 31, 2028) investigating the mechanistic relationship between glycerol metabolism and CD8+ T cell function in the context of obesity-related...
Albert Einstein College of Medicine received a $199,584 Project Grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Research Manpower program (CFDA 93.398) effective May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2031. This award supports research investigating the relationship between neighborhood disadvantage and obesity-related cancer (ORC) incidence among U.S. Hispanic/Latino populations. The research leverages the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL), the nation's largest prospective multicenter cohort study of Hispanic/Latino individuals, to assess associations between neighborhood disadvantage factors—such as neighborhood deprivation and redlining—and ORC incidence, while examining biobehavioral and social risk pathways including chronic stress, poor lifestyle, and social isolation. The project deliverables include epidemiological analyses identifying vulnerable Hispanic/Latino neighborhoods at elevated ORC risk and evidence-based findings to inform actionable policy and community-level interventions targeting upstream drivers of cancer health disparities. The Cancer Research Manpower program provides biomedical training and research career development support in basic, clinical, and prevention cancer research aligned with the National Cancer Program's strategic priorities, with awards typically ranging from approximately $44,000 to $176,000 for project periods spanning 12 to 48 months.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
