Mechanisms that Impact Cancer Risk after Bariatric Surgery (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)

National Institutes of Health · PAR-25-043 · Deadline: January 7, 2028 · Advertised ceiling: $500k

Program-level history — this opportunity doesn't publish per-opportunity awards, so these numbers describe its parent program (CFDA 93.393, Cancer Cause and Prevention Research), not this competition alone. Labeled that way on purpose.

Draw-down reality (program)

Across 84 completed awards in this program (FY2021+ sample, USAspending outlay records), grantees ultimately drew a median 93% of obligated funds. A median well under 100% means underspend or early closure is common here — worth knowing before promising a spend-down timeline.

Listing summary
