Mechanisms of Alcohol-associated Cancers
Alcohol consumption is classified as carcinogenic to humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Target sites for alcohol-related carcinogenesis include the upper aerodigestive tract, breast, liver, and colon. A better understanding of the molecular basis by which alcohol increases cancer risk for certain tissues and organs could lead to improved therapeutic approaches and preventative strategies and would provide guidance on safe levels of alcohol consumption.
Early consultation with RDA staff is essential - If you consider yourself a candidate or if you have collaborators, please update us at least one month prior to the cycle's deadline.
Interested parties must register – with the assistance of RDA - on era commons.
RDA Deadline: Deadline is open until 2020 with three cycles each year
