- The National Cancer Institute awarded Rutgers The State University of New Jersey, School of Nursing, $723,569 under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) on September 1, 2026, to conduct a prospective epidemiologic study examining associations between the human gut microbiome and postmenopausal breast cancer risk. The research leverages the Nurses' Health Study II cohort, which includes over 18,000 women with pre-diagnostic stool samples and repeated assessments of...
- The National Cancer Institute awarded Rutgers The State University of New Jersey, doing business as RBHS-School of Nursing, $170,930 under Project Grant R03CA308463 on April 1, 2026, to support research into the longitudinal dynamics of blood microbiome and circulating tumor cells in metastatic breast cancer. The research applies a novel reduced metagenomic sequencing technique to analyze longitudinal plasma samples from women with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (MTNBC), using liquid...
- The National Cancer Institute awarded Rutgers The State University of New Jersey, doing business as RBHS-School of Nursing, $651,545 on September 1, 2026, under the Cancer Treatment Research program (CFDA 93.395) to investigate the meningeal lymphatic system as a pathogenic driver of chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment in cancer survivors. The research targets chemobrain, a persistent cognitive dysfunction affecting pediatric and adult cancer survivors whose underlying mechanisms remain...
- The National Cancer Institute, a division of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded $641,071 to Rutgers The State University of New Jersey (School of Nursing) on September 1, 2026, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to conduct epidemiological research characterizing the role of air pollution in breast cancer prognosis and survivorship among Black women. The research leverages the Women's Circle of Health Follow-Up Study, a population-based cohort...
- The National Cancer Institute awarded Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research $294,080 on September 3, 2026, under the Cancer Research Manpower program (CFDA 93.398) to develop peripartum breast MRI (PPMRI), a non-contrast MRI technique for detecting breast cancer in pregnant and postpartum women. The award funds development of specialized MRI acquisition methods and biophysical modeling to exploit endogenous contrast mechanisms created by physiological changes during pregnancy and...
- The National Cancer Institute awarded Rutgers The State University of New Jersey $542,316 on May 7, 2026, under the Cancer Treatment Research program (CFDA 93.395) to investigate the mechanism and therapeutic potential of parkin in colorectal cancer. The funded research examines how the E3 ubiquitin ligase parkin suppresses colorectal cancer and how parkin deficiency drives metabolic reprogramming to promote disease progression. The project employs unbiased screening approaches including...
The National Cancer Institute awarded Rutgers The State University of New Jersey, doing business as RBHS-School of Nursing, $303,431 on August 13, 2026, under the Cancer Research Manpower program (CFDA 93.398) to implement breast cancer early detection measures in primary healthcare facilities in Botswana. The award funds a five-year implementation research project guided by the Integrative Systems Praxis for Implementation Research (INSPIRE) methodology. The project will conduct key informant interviews to identify facilitators and barriers to breast cancer control from provider and patient perspectives, collect cross-sectional survey data on current breast care practices and resources at healthcare facilities, and develop and implement evidence-based interventions to overcome identified barriers. The work targets clinical breast exam as the recommended early detection intervention for low-resource settings and aims to identify scalable strategies applicable to timely breast cancer detection and care access in the United States. Place of performance is Newark, New Jersey. The project period runs through July 31, 2031. The Cancer Research Manpower program supports biomedical training opportunities and research training grants for individuals pursuing careers in basic, clinical, and prevention research relevant to the National Cancer Program, with awards available for up to five years and renewals permitted for eligible career award categories.
