This program accepts grant applications that focus on:
- Fundamental controls that dictate cancer cell development and regulation of cell growth, division, migration, and fate
- Investigations of oncogenic viruses, microbial pathogens, or the microbiome, and their involvement with cellular processes and pathways within cancer cells and between cancer cells and normal cells
- Mechanisms driving cancer progression (including initiation, invasion, angiogenesis, metastasis, and treatment resistance) and therapy-associated morbidities
- Cancer biomarker discovery and development
- Discovery, synthesis and delivery of cancer drugs and biologics
