The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to enhance translational research in the overlapping areas of human aging and cancer, linking basic and clinical research relevant to the care of older cancer patients through both bench-to-bedside and bedside-to-bench approaches. Ultimately, information from the research supported by this initiative should improve the health and well-being of elderly patients at risk for, or diagnosed with, cancer and decrease the functional impairment and morbidity associated with cancer in this population.
Age has long been recognized as a major risk factor for cancer: the age-adjusted incidence rate for all cancers in persons of ages 65 years and older is roughly ten times that for persons under age 65. In addition, the age-adjusted cancer mortality rate for the older age group is almost 16 times that for the younger group.
The public health burden of cancer in the elderly will increase dramatically as the structure of the U.S. population shifts toward a larger proportion of older persons, as increases in life expectancy for both men and women translate into larger numbers of individuals who are reaching older ages. The phenomenon of an aging America emphasizes the need for research across the spectrum of cancer prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship.
While the aging/cancer relationship has been recognized for decades, only recently have advances in the understanding of mechanisms of carcinogenesis and of the biological changes associated with aging facilitated the convergence of these two research perspectives. Scientific themes common to both biological gerontology and oncology include (1) regulation of cellular proliferation and expression of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes; (2) telomere length and telomerase; (3) free radical-induced protein and nucleic acid damage; (4) mechanisms of DNA repair; (5) regulation of apoptosis; (6) angiogenesis; (7) immune function and response, such as senescence, surveillance, and enhancement; and (8) metabolic function.
Key research achievements in the biology of aging and cancer, as in other related areas, hold promise for enhancing our understanding of the relationship between aging and the natural history of the major tumors for which incidence and mortality rates peak in the older population (colon, rectum, prostate, pancreas, lung, bladder, stomach, and breast). However, achieving this goal requires not only shared perspectives of aging and cancer in the laboratory and pre-clinical setting, but also collaboration in translating the basic and pre-clinical findings into the development of clinical studies in humans (bench-to-bedside and bedside-to-community). This approach necessitates a broad interaction and partnership that extends from aging-cancer collaborations in basic research to include clinical scientists in geriatrics, oncology, and other disciplines and specialties involved in the medical care of the elderly.
Effective translational research also requires the ability to build on observations and findings in the clinical translational setting as a basis for asking additional questions at the molecular level. The iterative nature of this approach is key to advancing our basic and clinical knowledge, particularly in complex areas of scientific overlap such as aging and cancer processes, and requires appropriate research partnerships and collaborations of similar depth and scope.
The goal of this initiative is to build on our rapidly advancing knowledge of molecular aspects of carcinogenesis and the biology of aging in order to foster clinical translational research at two levels along the continuum from bench-to-bedside and bedside-to-bench:
(1) To move basic research from exploratory and developmental studies to readiness for clinical development, particularly research findings with immediate clinical implications; and
(2) To move questions based on clinical observations, particularly in the clinical research setting, into basic and mechanistic studies that contribute to further development or refinement of applications in clinical care.
This initiative will support patient-oriented and translational research addressing the inter-relationship of cancer to aging or old age, building at the interface of basic and clinical approaches to (1) obtain currently missing information about specific aspects of cancer (risk, etiology, progression, diagnosis, symptoms, response to treatment, etc.) in elderly cancer patients; (2) determine age-related differences in these aspects of cancer and/or the factors responsible for them; (3) determine the effects of age-related changes or aging mechanisms on specific aspects of cancer; and (4) develop or test new methods or technologies relevant to 1-3 above.
Proposed projects should focus on major tumors for which peak incidence and mortality rates occur in the older population (colon, rectum, prostate, pancreas, lung, bladder, stomach, breast and hematologic malignancies such as non-Hodgkins lymphoma and acute/chronic leukemia and its precursors). The age range of persons supporting the study should be consistent with the study hypothesis but, for most projects, the research question(s) should target persons 55 years of age or older. Younger age groups may be included for comparison purposes. The study population should be well defined within a particular treatment setting, community, or general population; settings may include hospitals, nursing homes, other health care environments, and/or outpatient medical practice.
Projects should have both basic and clinical or translational components clearly linked through study design and clear relevance to, or potential for application in, clinical management of older patients. Applications proposing to move basic knowledge into clinical settings (bench-to-bedside) should describe the potential of the findings to improve current clinical approaches. Applications exploring clinical observations or questions through basic techniques (bedside-to-bench) should discuss the potential added value of the knowledge gained to clinical issues and patient care. Research teams with expertise in appropriate areas of both cancer biology and aging are recommended, and interactive collaborations between clinical and basic researchers are strongly encouraged.
This FOA does not support Phase III cancer treatment or prevention clinical trials; however, applicants are encouraged to build on treatment or prevention cohorts through ancillary studies and/or to augment data from clinical studies with additional molecular, physiological, or performance measures. The use of other existing resources and cohorts or aging datasets appropriately expanded to address the study question(s) is also encouraged. Suggested resources include, but are not limited to, NIA Claude D. Pepper Older American Independence Centers; NCI Cooperative Clinical Trials Groups; NCI-designated Cancer Centers; Center for Medicare Services (CMS) datasets; and repositories of tumor or other tissues linked to clinical or administrative data. Additional resources include the American College of Surgeons National Cancer Data Base; Veterans Administration Hospitals clinical care data base; and CMS Minimal Data Set (skilled nursing facilities).
Potential outcomes should be appropriate for the study question and may include intermediate markers of cancer status (surrogate endpoint biomarkers); clinical measures of disease status for cancer and comorbid conditions; traditional outcomes in cancer research (recurrence, survival, mortality); and functional status, physical performance, and quality of life.
Research areas highlighted for this FOA include the following:

Only the review criteria described below will be considered in the review process. As part of the NIH mission, all applications submitted to the NIH in support of biomedical and behavioral research are evaluated for scientific and technical merit through the NIH peer review system.
For this particular announcement, note the following:
The R21 exploratory/developmental grant supports investigation of novel scientific ideas or new model systems, tools, or technologies that have the potential for significant impact on biomedical or biobehavioral research. An R21 grant application need not have extensive background material or preliminary information. Accordingly, reviewers will focus their evaluation on the conceptual framework, the level of innovation, and the potential to significantly advance our knowledge or understanding. Appropriate justification for the proposed work can be provided through literature citations, data from other sources, or, when available, from investigator-generated data. Preliminary data are not required for R21 applications; however, they may be included if available.
Reviewers will provide an overall impact/priority score to reflect their assessment of the likelihood for the project to exert a sustained, powerful influence on the research field(s) involved, in consideration of the following review criteria and additional review criteria (as applicable for the project proposed).
Reviewers will consider each of the review criteria below in the determination of scientific merit, and give a separate score for each. An application does not need to be strong in all categories to be judged likely to have major scientific impact. For example, a project that by its nature is not innovative may be essential to advance a field.
Significance
Does the project address an important problem or a critical barrier to progress in the field? If the aims of the project are achieved, how will scientific knowledge, technical capability, and/or clinical practice be improved? How will successful completion of the aims change the concepts, methods, technologies, treatments, services, or preventative interventions that drive this field?
Investigator(s)
Are the PD(s)/PI(s), collaborators, and other researchers well suited to the project? If Early Stage Investigators or New Investigators, or in the early stages of independent careers, do they have appropriate experience and training? If established, have they demonstrated an ongoing record of accomplishments that have advanced their field(s)? If the project is collaborative or multi-PD(s)/PI(s), do the investigators have complementary and integrated expertise; are their leadership approach, governance and organizational structure appropriate for the project?
Innovation
Does the application challenge and seek to shift current research or clinical practice paradigms by utilizing novel theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions? Are the concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions novel to one field of research or novel in a broad sense? Is a refinement, improvement, or new application of theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions proposed?
Approach
Are the overall strategy, methodology, and analyses
well-reasoned and appropriate to accomplish the specific aims of the project?
Are potential problems, alternative strategies, and benchmarks for success
presented? If the project is in the early stages of development, will the
strategy establish feasibility and will particularly risky aspects be
managed?
If the project involves clinical research, are the plans for 1) protection of
human subjects from research risks, and 2) inclusion of minorities and members
of both sexes/genders, as well as the inclusion of children, justified in terms
of the scientific goals and research strategy proposed?
Environment
Will the scientific environment in which the work will be done contribute to the probability of success? Are the institutional support, equipment and other physical resources available to the investigators adequate for the project proposed? Will the project benefit from unique features of the scientific environment, subject populations, or collaborative arrangements?
As applicable for the project proposed, reviewers will evaluate the following additional items while determining scientific and technical merit, and in providing an overall impact/priority score, but will not give separate scores for these items.
Protections for Human Subjects
For research that involves human subjects but does
not involve one of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR
Part 46, the committee will evaluate the justification for involvement of human
subjects and the proposed protections from research risk relating to their
participation according to the following five review criteria: 1) risk to
subjects, 2) adequacy of protection against risks, 3) potential benefits to the
subjects and others, 4) importance of the knowledge to be gained, and 5) data
and safety monitoring for clinical trials.
For research that involves human subjects and meets the criteria for one or
more of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR Part 46,
the committee will evaluate: 1) the justification for the exemption, 2) human
subjects involvement and characteristics, and 3) sources of materials. For
additional information on review of the Human Subjects section, please refer to
the Human
Subjects Protection and Inclusion Guidelines.
Inclusion of Women, Minorities, and Children
When the proposed project involves clinical research, the committee will evaluate the proposed plans for inclusion of minorities and members of both genders, as well as the inclusion of children. For additional information on review of the Inclusion section, please refer to the Human Subjects Protection and Inclusion Guidelines.
Vertebrate Animals
The committee will evaluate the involvement of live vertebrate animals as part of the scientific assessment according to the following five points: 1) proposed use of the animals, and species, strains, ages, sex, and numbers to be used; 2) justifications for the use of animals and for the appropriateness of the species and numbers proposed; 3) adequacy of veterinary care; 4) procedures for limiting discomfort, distress, pain and injury to that which is unavoidable in the conduct of scientifically sound research including the use of analgesic, anesthetic, and tranquilizing drugs and/or comfortable restraining devices; and 5) methods of euthanasia and reason for selection if not consistent with the AVMA Guidelines on Euthanasia. For additional information on review of the Vertebrate Animals section, please refer to the Worksheet for Review of the Vertebrate Animal Section.
Biohazards
Reviewers will assess whether materials or procedures proposed are potentially hazardous to research personnel and/or the environment, and if needed, determine whether adequate protection is proposed.
