Specific Areas of Research Interest

NCI is interested in applications that use systems epidemiology modeling or analysis approaches to advance the understanding of multilevel and dynamic factors that affect cancer risk and related outcomes, including factors that contribute to cancer disparities. For applications to be considered responsive to NCI interest, they will need to include all three of the following components: i) integrate germline genetic and environmental data, ii) utilize data across multiple scales (e.g., biological, social, or ecological organization), and iii) consider dynamism or multiple time points in the analysis.
