This Funding Opportunity Announcement encourages applications that investigate the biology and underlying mechanisms of bladder cancer. Bladder cancer is a significant health problem globally. Because of the high incidence and frequent tumour recurrence, bladder cancer exacts an outsized medical burden. While recent progress has been made in the molecular profiling of bladder cancers and identification of mutated genes, relatively little is known regarding the molecular mechanisms driving initiation, progression and malignancy of bladder cancer. Furthermore, understanding of the biological processes of the normal bladder at the molecular, cell and organ levels is limited. Fundamental knowledge of how molecular and cellular functions of the bladder are altered in cancer will aid understanding of bladder cancer biology and contribute to the future development of new interventions.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites mechanistic research that aims to understand how and why expectancy effects occur in a cancer context, elucidate their role in cancer symptom management, and identify patients, symptoms, cancer sites and contexts in which expectancy effects can be leveraged to improve cancer outcomes. Expectancies are defined in this context as beliefs about future outcomes, including one's response to cancer or cancer treatment. Expectancies can be evoked by social, psychological, environmental and systemic factors. Expectancy effects are the cognitive, behavioural and biological outcomes caused by expectancies. Expectancy effects can be generated by expectancies held by patients, clinicians, family members, caregivers and/or dyadic/social networks.
