Pre-Application Questions and Answers
TREC U54 Research Centers Funding Opportunity Announcement
The Transdisciplinary Research in Energetics and Cancer (U54) funding opportunity announcement (FOA) issued by the National Cancer Institute is a component of the Transdisciplinary Research on Energetics and Cancer (TREC) program. The overall purpose of the reissued TREC program is to foster transdisciplinary research in nutrition, physical activity, energy balance, obesity, and cancer. To address this goal, this FOA solicits applications for TREC Research Centers.
This FOA is open to all qualified applicants regardless of whether or not they participated in the previous TREC issuance.

The TREC initiative fosters collaboration across multiple disciplines and encompasses projects that cover the biology, genomics, and genetics of energy balance to behavioral, socio-cultural, and environmental influences upon nutrition, physical activity, weight, energetics, and cancer risk. It provides training opportunities for new and established scientists who can carry out integrative research on energetics and energy balance. The TREC initiative complements NCI’s energy balance research endeavors and efforts of the NIH Obesity Task Force.
