Pre-Application Webinar: Population Approaches to Reducing Alcohol-related Cancer Risk

This webinar provided information about PAR-23-244 (reissued as PAR-25-221), “Population Approaches to Reducing Alcohol-related Cancer Risk (R01 Clinical Trial Optional).”

This funding opportunity aims to support research on interdisciplinary population approaches to increasing awareness of the relationship between alcohol and cancer risk, understanding and changing social norms related to alcohol consumption, and developing and/or evaluating alcohol policy approaches. Further, it calls for the development, testing, and implementation of population-level interventions to reduce alcohol-related cancer risk.

NCI and NIAAA staff provided an overview of the funding opportunity and application process and addressed general questions.
