Mechanisms that Impact Cancer Risk after Bariatric Surgery (R21)
Funds proof-of-concept work on how bariatric surgery changes cancer risk — and refuses applications that already have unpublished preliminary data.
The exploratory twin of the National Cancer Institute's bariatric surgery notice, and it carries a condition that is genuinely unusual.
The science is the same: mechanisms by which bariatric surgery affects cancer risk, with the institute openly trying to pull in scientists who study the surgery and have been measuring weight loss and diabetes instead.
What this version funds is proof of concept…
Proof-of-concept feasibility and exploratory studies of the mechanisms by which bariatric surgery affects cancer risk, where feasibility has not already been established in the literature or by preliminary data. Unpublished data may not be included; preprints with a digital object identifier are acceptable. Clinical trials are not allowed.
