Population Approaches to Reducing Alcohol-related Cancer Risk (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)

The Population Approaches to Reducing Alcohol-related Cancer Risk grant program (R01 Clinical Trial Optional) is a funding opportunity that encourages research dedicated to raising awareness of the connection between alcohol and cancer. This initiative emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary population approaches in understanding and creating public policy to influence societal norms related to alcohol consumption. Alongside this, the program promotes developing, testing, and implementing community-wide strategies to mitigate alcohol-induced cancer risk.

The grant program places specific emphasis on applications which concentrate on various consumption levels, such as moderate and heavy drinking, in addition to those centered on alcohol use disorder (AUD). To address cancer prevention and control, it particularly values projects focusing on these areas.

Moreover, the program highly encourages proposals that offer fresh perspectives on inadequately studied regions. It particularly encourages studies that pay attention to underrepresented minority (URM) populations who face disparities in cancer and alcohol-related conditions. These populations include American Indians, Alaskan Natives, and people within sexual and gender minority groups.
