- The National Cancer Institute awarded Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc. $409,463 on June 16, 2026, under the Cancer Treatment Research program (CFDA 93.395) to evaluate eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A (EIF4A) inhibition as a therapeutic approach for acute myeloid leukemia. The research validates zotatifin, a clinical-grade EIF4A inhibitor, as a small molecule to target AML cells. The central hypothesis is that zotatifin selectively targets AML cells over healthy cells and...

Work includes analysis of...
- 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 federal Project Grant award of $644,400 from the Defense Health Agency under the Military Medical Research and Development program (CFDA 12.420) will support research by Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc. to optimize anti-PD1-based therapy for metastatic renal cell carcinoma. The research aims to transform healthcare for military service members and the general public by advancing innovative approaches to disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. The research will be conducted at...
- The National Cancer Institute, a component of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded The General Hospital Corporation (doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital) $588,606 on August 1, 2026, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to conduct a multisite randomized efficacy trial of STRIDE, an evidence-based telehealth intervention for improving symptom management and medication adherence in patients with hormone-sensitive breast cancer receiving...
- The National Institutes of Health's National Cancer Institute awarded $331,085.91 under the Cancer Research Manpower federal grant program (CFDA 93.398) to Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc. on February 1, 2021 for completion by September 30, 2022. The project grant funding will support research investigating the role of cellular senescence in chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment and the contribution of microglia to chemotherapy-induced senescence in the brain. Specifically, the grantee...
The National Cancer Institute awarded Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc. $756,755 on August 3, 2026, under the Cancer Treatment Research program (CFDA 93.395) to develop and test a structured peer support intervention for patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The award is classified as a Project Grant with a period of performance through July 31, 2031, and place of performance in Boston, Massachusetts. The intervention, called STEPP (Structured Peer Support Intervention), is a brief, patient-centered, telephone-delivered psychosocial program delivered by psychologist-trained HSCT survivors. It targets social isolation and loneliness in hematologic malignancy patients undergoing HSCT, addressing gaps in accessible psychosocial care for a population at elevated risk of depression, anxiety, and reduced quality of life. Pilot work demonstrated feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy for improving depression and anxiety symptoms and quality of life outcomes. This award funds a large-scale efficacy trial comparing STEPP to minimally enhanced usual care, following the NIH Stage Model for Behavioral Intervention Development. The study aligns with the NCI's mission to advance accessible, cost-effective, and scalable interventions for vulnerable oncology populations. Brigham & Women's Hospital is a subsidiary of Partners Healthcare System Incorporated based in Boston and operates as a prime recipient on federal biomedical research grants, with substantial prior NIH funding across multiple institutes.
