Mechanisms that Impact Cancer Risk after Bariatric Surgery (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)

This program funds investigator-initiated research on the mechanisms by which bariatric surgery affects cancer risk, including animal studies, human studies, or both. It is open to a wide range of U.S. and foreign nonprofit, government, academic, tribal, faith-based, community-based, regional, and for-profit organizations, but foreign organizations and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply. Awards are limited to $500,000 in direct costs per year, for up to 5 years, and the number of awards depends on NIH funding and the quality of applications. No cost sharing is required. The notice says studies should focus on the bariatric procedures now most commonly used, sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and foreign components are allowed.
