The University of Southern California received a $162,501 Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Research Manpower program (CFDA 93.398), effective May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2031. The award establishes a T32 predoctoral training program designed to provide six trainees annually with innovative methodological training in social and behavioral cancer control and prevention research. The program addresses critical gaps in the field by equipping researchers with cutting-edge methods to overcome longstanding challenges in assessing and analyzing subjective, dynamic, and multilevel social and behavioral factors that influence cancer outcomes. The T32 training program focuses on three integrated methodological themes: (1) harnessing digital technologies and big data for cancer research; (2) modeling change and improving causal inference methods; and (3) advancing community-engaged approaches for interventions and implementation science. Trainees will apply novel study design, assessment, experimental, and analytic methods to identify social and behavioral determinants of cancer risk, prevention behaviors, screening and treatment utilization, and to evaluate interventions and policies for cancer control. By addressing the approximately 45 percent of cancer deaths attributable to preventable behavioral factors such as tobacco and alcohol use, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity, the program aims to advance the translation of social and behavioral science discoveries into practical cancer prevention and control solutions.
