The goal of this PA concept is to foster innovative research that will identify and characterize diet-induced changes in inflammation and colon cancer risk. This PA does not encompass epidemiological studies.

This funding opportunity will use the NIH investigator-initiated research project grants (R01) and exploratory/developmental (R21) award mechanisms. For more information, see http://cri.nci.nih.gov/4abst.cfm?initiativeparfa_id=2824. Inquiries: Dr. Young S. Kim-yk47s@nih.gov.

The NIH Roadmap for Medical Research Funding provides a framework of the priorities NIH must address to optimize its research portfolio. It identifies the most compelling opportunities in three main areas: new pathways to discovery, research teams of the future, and re-engineering the clinical research enterprise.
