Physical Activity and Obesity Across Chronic Diseases: PA-01-017
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-01-017.html
As part of a trans-NIH Obesity Initiative which includes approaches to obesity prevention and the neuroendocrinology of obesity, the NCI invites applications from investigators for research studies that will address the relationship between physical activity, obesity and cancer. Two general areas of research are of interest to the NCI:
studies to improve methodology of assessment of physical activity and energy balance (Applied Research Program). studies to test intervention approaches that incorporate physical activity during and after cancer treatment (Office of Cancer Survivorship).
