National Institutes of Health

Deadline: Jan 7, 2027federal

Updated: Oct 30, 2025

Summary

The grant aims to fund preclinical and patient-based studies that explore how incretin mimetics affect cancer risk, encouraging researchers to investigate the long-term implications of these agents rather than just short-term outcomes. Eligible applicants include various nonprofit organizations, government entities, small and for-profit businesses, educational institutions, and other specified groups such as Native American tribal organizations and historically black colleges. Application details are not provided in the description; interested parties should refer to the full opportunity announcement for further information.

Full Description

Description

The goal of the proposed funding announcement is twofold, to promote preclinical and patient based studies examining the mechanism(s) through which incretin mimetics (including agonists or antagonists of GLP-1, GIP-1, or dual GLP-1/GIP-1 agents) impact cancer risk, and to draw talented scientists who understand the dynamic changes caused by these agents to investigate the mechanisms of how these agents influence cancer risk rather than shorter term outcomes such as weight loss and diabetes. The data thus far suggests that these agents may increase the risk of some, while decreasing the risk of other obesity related cancers.
