This document is a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the federal grant opportunity titled "Mechanistic links between diet, lipid metabolism, and tumor growth and progression (UH2 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)". The funding opportunity is sponsored by the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health under the Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research (93.394), Cancer Treatment Research (93.395), Cancer Cause and Prevention Research (93.393), Cancer Control (93.399), and Cancer Biology Research (93.396) grant programs.

The objective of this grant is to support fundamental studies that identify and define the molecular mechanisms through which lipid metabolism mediates tumor growth and progression, with a focus on the central role lipids play in linking diet and cancer biology. Eligible applicant types include tribal governments, non-profit organizations, for-profit organizations, higher education institutions, and small businesses. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, and preliminary data is limited to one figure. The expected outcomes are to bridge the fields of nutrition and molecular metabolism, and stimulate research and tool development in this emerging area.
