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 of 1,900 Black breast cancer survivors in New Jersey with detailed clinical, lifestyle, and biospecimen data. The project pursues three specific aims: assessing associations between cumulative residential air pollution exposure and breast cancer–specific and all-cause survival; evaluating relationships between air pollution and patient-reported outcomes including health-related quality of life, fatigue, and sleep disturbance measured approximately two years post-diagnosis; and examining associations between air pollution and biomarkers of systemic inflammation and cardiac injury. The study addresses documented disparities in breast cancer mortality and survivorship outcomes among Black women, who experience higher exposure to outdoor air pollution and greater cardiometabolic burden than White women. Work is performed in Newark, New Jersey. The project period runs from September 1, 2026, through August 30, 2031.
