Get Your Data Science Research Funded Through NCI DCCPS
Are you a cancer researcher or data scientist whose research is rooted in cancer control and population sciences? Are you looking for R01 grant funding coupled with a modular budget? NCI’s Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS) encourages you to apply for funding to address a variety of scientific topics. Opportunities for data science application to cancer control and population science research include:
- developing innovative tools and approaches for the analysis, reporting, visualization, and interpretation of cancer surveillance data.
- creating statistical methods for generating and integrating data on the determinants of cancer-related risk factors in general and specific populations.
- developing and evaluating applied informatics methods for cancer surveillance research.
- using existing data sets to develop new methods and models for genetic, epidemiologic research.
- conducting behavioral research, which includes integrating independent data sets to answer novel cancer control and prevention questions.
- leveraging novel artificial intelligence and deep learning tools to do things such as mitigate algorithmic bias and reduce cancer disparities.
