- The National Cancer Institute awarded Regents of the University of Michigan $785,278 on August 14, 2026, under the Cancer Treatment Research program (CFDA 93.395) to develop and evaluate the efficacy of the MI Sleep Coach App, a mobile cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) intervention designed specifically for cancer survivors. Sleep disturbances affect over 50 percent of breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer survivors and are associated with negative effects on physical and...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Cancer Institute awarded the University of Michigan $682,272 under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) on September 1, 2025, for a two-year project (completion date August 31, 2027) to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a multifaceted electronic health record (EHR)-integrated mobile health intervention designed to reduce post-operative readmissions following radical cystectomy. The intervention consists of an...
- The National Cancer Institute awarded The Research Foundation For The State University of New York $467,581 on July 1, 2026, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to support a mixed-methods ecological momentary assessment study examining substance use behaviors and underlying socioecological drivers among young adult cancer survivors in early survivorship. The research identifies mechanisms of substance use—including tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, illicit drugs, and...
- The National Institute on Drug Abuse awarded Michigan State University (doing business as Henry Ford Health+Michigan State University Health Sciences) $367,362 on March 15, 2026, under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) to develop and test a patient-engaged electronic screening and brief intervention (ESBI) combined with tailored text messaging to reduce cannabis use in pregnancy. The project will establish a patient advisor committee that partners with pregnant...
- The National Cancer Institute awarded New York University $310,185 on July 1, 2026, under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to develop and feasibility-test a mobile application delivering an evidence-based intervention that addresses financial stress and smoking cessation. The recipient will develop a smartphone app version of the FIERCE (Financial Freedom from Cigarettes) intervention, which integrates financial coaching into smoking cessation treatment. The work...
- 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 Regents of the University of Michigan $646,881 on April 1, 2026, under the Cancer Treatment Research program (CFDA 93.395) to develop small-molecule inhibitors of ASH1L, a histone methyltransferase, as a therapeutic strategy for acute leukemia. The funded research targets acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which carries a five-year survival rate of approximately 27% with current treatments. The work focuses on blocking expression of HOX genes—particularly...
- The National Cancer Institute awarded Wayne State University $398,544 on August 14, 2026, under the Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research program (CFDA 93.394) to build and test a clinic-based sleep care pathway for oncology patients with sleep disorders. The project, titled ONC-SLEEP COLLABORATIVE: COMISA COLLABORATIVE CARE INTEGRATION IN ONCOLOGY, addresses comorbid insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea (COMISA) in cancer patients through a team-based collaborative care model. Aim 1...
The National Cancer Institute awarded Michigan State University Henry Ford Health+Michigan State University Health Sciences $309,874 on September 1, 2026, under the Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research program (CFDA 93.394) to develop and test a fully asynchronous digital intervention for reducing alcohol misuse in adolescent and young adult cancer survivors. The project adapts TRAC-AYA (Tracking and Reducing Alcohol Consumption in AYAs), a technology-based intervention previously developed under a Phase IIA award. The original intervention incorporated daily self-monitoring and four weekly phone-based counseling sessions addressing motivation, skills, and cancer-related alcohol triggers; preliminary clinical feedback indicated scalability challenges within oncology settings. The adapted intervention will be delivered entirely through digital channels, containing four components: brief motivational intervention, behavioral skills training, emotion regulation training, and resources addressing cancer-specific stressors including fear of recurrence, fertility concerns, and financial toxicity. Following digital adaptation and usability testing, the recipient will conduct a pilot optimization trial with 80 participants to determine whether all intervention components are necessary to achieve meaningful reductions in alcohol misuse. Work is performed in East Lansing, Michigan. The period of performance runs through August 31, 2029. This is a Project Grant, a standard assistance type under the NIH grant mechanism.
