What this is
This NIH U01 mechanism funds the creation and validation of next-generation cancer epidemiology cohorts—large, prospective study populations designed to investigate cancer etiology and prevention. The funding supports cohort infrastructure, participant recruitment, data collection, and biological specimen banking. Clinical trials are explicitly not allowed. This is best suited for established research institutions with epidemiologic expertise and capacity to manage multi-year cohort studies.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants likely include academic medical centers, universities, and nonprofit research institutions with documented epidemiologic research capacity; specific eligibility criteria (organization type, size, geography) are not detailed in this forecast announcement and should be confirmed in the full RFP.
