- The National Cancer Institute awarded the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research $177,500 on August 1, 2026, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to adapt and evaluate a community navigator-led tobacco cessation intervention for cancer patients experiencing food insecurity. The project, titled QUITTRACK, addresses the elevated rate of tobacco dependence among food-insecure cancer patients—44 percent of cancer patients who smoke experience food insecurity,...
- 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...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Cancer Institute awarded a $164,484 Project Grant to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation on August 11, 2025, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393). This award supports a research initiative focused on developing and evaluating health communications targeting adults who smoke nondaily (ASN)—a population representing approximately one-third of current adult cigarette smokers in the United States yet demonstrating...
- The National Cancer Institute awarded $415,257 to the University of Virginia on July 1, 2026, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to develop a comprehensive intervention addressing financial toxicity among cancer survivors and caregivers. The award funds a two-year project (July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028) performed in Charlottesville, Virginia. The intervention will address all domains of financial toxicity—material burden, psychosocial distress, and coping...
- The National Cancer Institute awarded Washington State University $560,858 on July 21, 2026, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to conduct a randomized controlled trial evaluating a remote telehealth intervention combining varenicline and app-based contingency management for rural smokers with alcohol use disorder. The trial will enroll 192 rural smokers seeking smoking cessation treatment and living with an alcohol use disorder. Participants will be...
- The National Cancer Institute awarded The MGH Institute of Health Professions, Inc. $696,498 on May 1, 2026, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to develop and optimize a multicomponent intervention for improving functional recovery and participation in life roles among breast cancer survivors. The research uses the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) framework to systematically test three remotely delivered intervention components: priority elicitation to...
The National Cancer Institute awarded the University of Kentucky Research Foundation $610,625 on August 5, 2026, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to implement a pragmatic effectiveness trial of screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) for hazardous alcohol use among cancer survivors. The award funds a five-year study randomizing 1,200 head, neck, and esophageal cancer survivors to either a multilevel intervention called "MI-TRACS" (Multilevel Intervention to Track and Reduce Alcohol Consumption Among Survivors) or enhanced usual care. MI-TRACS operates at three levels: system-level integration of automated alcohol screening, documentation, and treatment referrals within the electronic health record; clinician-level training and decision-support tools to facilitate treatment uptake and reinforce practice change; and survivor-level delivery of an evidence-based brief intervention tailored for cancer survivors with optional referral pathways. The intervention addresses a documented practice gap—nearly 80 percent of cancer survivors continue to drink alcohol despite increased recurrence and new primary cancer risk, and many oncology clinicians report inadequate training on alcohol-related interventions during routine care. Performance occurs in Lexington, Kentucky, with an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2031. The award is a Project Grant, the standard assistance type for NIH investigator-initiated research.
