NCI Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences

New NCI funding opportunity to support research in cancer epidemiology cohort studies on cancer etiology and survivorship. Applications should: • address scientific gaps • include hypothesis-driven research • support cohort recruitment, retention, and follow-up, as appropriate • and describe how data and biospecimen resources will be shared View the opportunity at https://lnkd.in/eBQw-Mn7. #CancerEpidemiology #NIHgrants

Join us on June 25–26, 2026 for the Sleep and Cognition: Current State of Research and Future Directions virtual Trans-NIH workshop. Across two half-days, sessions will explore key topics including: Measurement & methods, mechanisms, temporal perspectives (e.g., circadian influences and sleep across the lifespan), subpopulation perspectives, and interventions, plus cross-cutting discussion designed to identify future directions.

🎉30 years of the Office of Cancer Survivorship🎉—and the work continues.   Established in 1996, the Office of Cancer Survivorship (OCS) helped define survivorship as a distinct and essential area of cancer research. Over three decades, the office’s role has expanded, strengthening coordination across the National Cancer Institute and advancing research focused on the long term and late effects of cancer and its treatment.   Click through to explore key milestones and how OCS has supported survivorship focused research, informed scientific priorities, and fostered collaboration across disciplines—made possible by the contributions of cancer survivors, caregivers, advocates, clinicians, and researchers. You can also learn more at survivorship.cancer.gov.

#ICYMI📣June is #NationalCancerSurvivorMonth🎗️ and it coincides with an NCI milestone moment: the Office of Cancer Survivorship’s 30th anniversary!   Since 1996, the Office has worked to elevate cancer survivorship as a critical area of research, supporting studies on the long term and late effects of cancer and its treatment as the survivor population continues to grow.   As we mark this milestone, we remain focused on the future: advancing survivorship research, developing evidence-based tools, and supporting survivors and caregivers across the cancer continuum. To learn more, visit survivorship.cancer.gov.

Join experts from across disciplines for the upcoming Trans-NIH Workshop on Micro[nano]plastic Measurement for Population Studies. This hybrid meeting - which takes place July 9-10, 2026 - will bring together researchers to discuss current evidence, methodological challenges, exposure assessment, biological mechanisms, and future research opportunities related to micro- and nanoplastics. 📅 Learn more and register here: https://lnkd.in/eKHbxhtW #CancerResearch #EnvironmentalHealth #Microplastics #Nanoplastics #ExposureScience

📣REMINDER📣: In honor of National Cancer Survivors Month, the NCI Office of Cancer Survivorship will host a webinar next Wednesday, June 17, from 1–2:30p.m. ET.   This panel of cancer survivors and caregivers will share their lived experiences and discuss the important role of advocacy in shaping and advancing cancer survivorship research.   Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to hear directly from survivors and caregivers—register today: https://lnkd.in/gQwMZRBr!

Join the NCI Cohort Consortium for a June 17 webinar on how geospatial science is advancing environmental epidemiology and cancer research, featuring innovative approaches for characterizing neighborhood environments using Google Street View imagery, assessing environmental contaminants from industrial emissions and drinking water sources, and developing novel geospatial measures such as solar jet lag and high-resolution light exposure models to better understand cancer risk. Drs. Rena Jones, Jesse Plascak, and Trang VoPham will discuss how these emerging tools and methods can be applied to cancer cohort research across populations and settings.    Register at: https://lnkd.in/emTVXpXH #Geospatial #Epidemiology #CancerResearch

After being diagnosed with #BreastCancer while raising two young children, Alison learned to accept help, slow down, and embrace each moment more fully. Now, she hopes to help other survivors navigate life after treatment with connection, support, and compassion. Read Alison’s full story here: https://lnkd.in/gcnYR3_u.

🎗️National Cancer Survivors Day this Sunday is a reminder that survivorship is shaped by the lived experience.    Survivors and caregivers offer critical perspectives on what it means to live with and beyond cancer—insights that inform research, improve care, and guide resources across the cancer continuum.    The Office of Cancer Survivorship will soon share new stories from cancer survivors, told in their own words. In the meantime, explore our collection of survivor and caregiver stories here: https://lnkd.in/e6nPuHhB.
