- This federal Project Grant award of $163,500.00 from the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Treatment Research program (CFDA 93.395) supports research to develop new therapies for diffuse-type gastric cancer (DGAC). The primary awardee, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, aims to unravel the mechanisms of DGAC tumorigenesis and apply that knowledge to lay a foundation for DGAC therapy development. Key objectives include determining the impact of drug candidates on DGAC stemness,...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $760,982 to The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center to investigate the role of the GFPT2 enzyme in radiation-induced cardiovascular disease. The project aims to determine the fundamental mechanisms contributing to radiation-induced cardiovascular disease, identify high-risk patients, and establish new treatment approaches. Key objectives...
- This $149,394 Project Grant was awarded on August 1, 2025 by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the Department of Health and Human Services, under the federal Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research program (CFDA 93.394). The grant supports research led by the University of California, Davis to advance the development of targeted radiopharmaceuticals for cancer diagnosis and therapy. Specifically, the research focuses on designing, synthesizing, and optimizing novel molecular imaging...
- This $150,104 Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Research Manpower program (CFDA 93.398) supports research to understand the evolutionary trajectories of complex genomic rearrangements in cancer. The project aims to develop novel computational approaches, "AGAVE" and "ROSE", to characterize the timing and dynamics of focal amplifications and structural variants during tumor evolution. The research will map these evolutionary patterns across...
- The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center received a $2,457,127 Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.395 - Cancer Treatment Research) to support the "INHANCE: Imaging Innovation for Head and Neck Cancer Evaluation & Treatment Delivery" research project. The goal of this 5-year project, starting August 18, 2025, is to leverage advanced imaging and computational analysis to better predict, detect, prevent, and manage normal tissue injury in head and...
- The federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.394 - Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research) provides $400,000.00 in funding to Zeest Bio Inc. to develop a novel liver-specific positron emission tomography (PET) tracer. The project aims to complete the preclinical testing and Investigational New Drug (IND)-enabling studies required for first-in-human clinical trials of this PET tracer. This tracer is hypothesized to offer higher sensitivity for detecting smaller...
- The federal Project Grant award, with ID HT94252410992, was provided by the Defense Health Agency (DHA) under the Military Medical Research and Development (CFDA 12.420) federal grant program. The award, totaling $2,710,479.00, will fund a research initiative led by the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center to advance the understanding of metastatic breast cancer through the development of a comprehensive research platform. The award's performance period is from August 15, 2024 to...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.394 - Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research) provides $358,605.00 to The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center to conduct a pilot study correlating the use of the novel PET/CT imaging agent 4-[18F]fluoro-1-naphthol ([18F]4FN) with chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) manifestations in 16 patients who have undergone allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant. The study aims to obtain preliminary estimates of the anatomic and temporal correlations between [18F]4FN PET/CT signal intensity/location and chronic GVHD, as well as evaluate the utility of [18F]4FN PET/CT as a predictive, prognostic, and pharmacodynamic biomarker for chronic GVHD. The award period is from September 8, 2025 to August 31, 2027.
