Diet-Induced Changes in Inflammation as Determinants of Colon Cancer (R01): -Purpose. Inflammation is a natural response of the human body to tissue injury or infection, but can, in some normal and abnormal conditions, be acute or chronic and result in serious complications, including colon cancer. The various checks and balances within the inflammatory process may be compromised by the quantity and duration of the insult, or by a host of genetic and environmental factors including diet. Several epidemiological and preclinical studies reveal that specific bioactive food components can suppress colonic inflammation as well as reduce colon cancer risk. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether these diet-induced shifts in the inflammatory process account for their antitumorigenic properties in colon cancer. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is designed to foster innovative research that will identify and characterize diet-induced changes in inflammation and colon cancer risk. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) award mechanism and runs in parallel with an FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-06-283, that solicits applications under the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Grant (R21) award mechanism. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications.
