This group plans, develops, directs, and coordinates external research programs in diet and nutrition, including micronutrients as modifiers of cancer risk and tumor behavior, to help establish a comprehensive understanding of the precise role of bioactive food components. Projects focus on determining how specific genes and/or molecular targets are influenced by either essential or non-essential nutrients. Research is aimed at identifying people who will benefit and people who might be placed at risk from dietary intervention strategies.

Funding and Training Opportunities
This is a listing of specific Requests for Applications, Program Announcements, and Notices. Research priorities include: nutritional modulation of genetic pathways; diet, epigenetic events, and cancer prevention; diet-induced changes in cancer processes; nutrient interactions; temporal exposure to bioactive food components and cancer risk; validation of biomarkers for exposure, effect, and susceptibility; and use of exfoliated cells and other surrogate markers to determine the impact of bioactive food components on cancer.
