Highlighted Topics Spotlight: Cancer Research
Have you explored the NIH Highlighted Topics recently? If not, now is a great time to take a look and learn more about this centralized list of selected research priority areas within the NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices (ICOs).
To help bring additional visibility to these priority areas, we will periodically spotlight Highlighted Topics here in the Nexus. And remember: don’t judge a book by its cover. Participating ICOs often describe how research within the scope of their mission connects to the broader topic area in unique and important ways.
Today’s Spotlight: Cancer Research
Current cancer-related Highlighted Topics include:
- Research on Rare Cancers Across the Cancer Control Continuum
- Optimal Interprofessional Teaming and Care Coordination Strategies for Cancer Care Quality and Outcomes
- Advancing Autoimmune Disease Research: Integrating Genetic, Environmental, and Immunological Factors to Improve Diagnosis and Treatment
- Implementation Science to Optimize HIV Prevention and Treatment
- Accelerating Research in Celiac Disease
If any of these (or other Highlighted Topics) align with your research interests, we strongly encourage you to reach out early to the appropriate scientific contacts. Program staff can help you determine how your research idea may fit, identify appropriate parent funding opportunities, and answer questions related to your application.
