Population Approaches to Reducing Alcohol-related Cancer Risk (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)
NIH funds interdisciplinary population-level research to increase awareness of alcohol-cancer risk, shift alcohol-related social norms, develop or evaluate alcohol policy approaches, and test implementation of interventions to reduce alcohol-related cancer risk.
⚑ R01; clinical trial optional · No explicit applicant-class restriction beyond standard NIH eligibility; foreign organizations are listed as eligible · Focus is population approaches and cancer prevention/control, not basic biology · Award ceiling shown as $0 in notice
This is a public-health/behavior-change cancer prevention topic centered on alcohol use, norms, and policy, which is outside IPPRA’s core domains of energy, weather, nuclear risk, and education policy evaluation. The team’s survey and communication methods could be useful in a generic sense, but none of the named researchers has this as a published program line.

Description
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) aims to support research on interdisciplinary population approaches to increasing awareness of the relationship between alcohol and cancer risk, understanding and changing social norms related to alcohol consumption, developing and/or evaluating alcohol policy approaches, and the development, testing, and implementation of population-level interventions to reduce alcohol-related cancer risk. Applications that address multiple levels of consumption, such as moderate and heavy drinking, are of particular interest, as well as those focusing on alcohol use disorder (AUD) from the perspective of cancer prevention and control.
