- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded University of Miami a $2.75M Project Grant on September 12, 2025, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to conduct a four-year clinical research study examining the effects of remotely-delivered cognitive behavioral stress management (R-CBSM) on cancer-accelerated aging in distressed breast cancer survivors aged 50 and older. The study will enroll 192 breast cancer survivors who completed...
- The National Cancer Institute awarded Yale University $316,200 on August 6, 2026, under the Cancer Research Manpower program (CFDA 93.398) to establish and operate the Survivorship Care Academy, a five-year educational initiative training oncology clinicians to develop and enhance clinical survivorship programs aligned with National Cancer Institute standards. The Academy will deliver a four-day annual in-residence workshop to 125 clinicians over five years (25 per year) covering key...
- 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 awarded the University of Rochester $814,967 on September 1, 2026, under the Cancer Treatment Research program (CFDA 93.395) to investigate trajectories of neurotoxicity among adolescents and young adults with Hodgkin lymphoma. The award funds research examining long-term neurotoxic effects of cancer therapy—including cancer-related cognitive impairment and peripheral and autonomic neuropathy—in this population despite the absence of central nervous...
- The National Institutes of Health National Cancer Institute awarded the Sloan-Kettering Institute For Cancer Research $731,503 on June 1, 2026, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to conduct a randomized controlled trial of brief behavioral activation for older adult cancer survivors. The research addresses depression among cancer survivors aged 65 and older, a population expected to comprise 73 percent of all cancer survivors by 2040, with up to 35 percent...
The National Cancer Institute awarded Hackensack University Medical Center $192,240 on September 1, 2026, under the Cancer Research Manpower program (CFDA 93.398) to support peer coaching for digital health engagement among adolescent and young adult cancer survivors. The project will develop and test the "Mindful Peer Coach" intervention, a peer-supported coaching approach designed to enhance adherence to a mindfulness-based mobile app and improve health-related quality of life outcomes including well-being and stress management. During the first two years, the research will evaluate the initial impact of the intervention through virtual and text message-based coaching via a multiple baseline time-series study, and refine the intervention using feedback from in-depth interviews with adolescent and young adult cancer survivors and peer coaches. Years three through five will conduct a pilot sequential, multiple assignment, randomized trial to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary outcomes of a sequential step-up approach in which survivors progress through escalating levels of coaching intensity. The award runs through August 31, 2031, with place of performance in Edison, New Jersey. This project grant funds biomedical training and research development relevant to the National Cancer Program's priorities in cancer survivorship and behavioral intervention research.
