NCI Behavioral Research Program
•
BRP initiates, supports, and evaluates a comprehensive
program of basic behavioral research, health
communication and informatics, processes of care,
research methodology, and health behavior interventions
•
Health behaviors of interest include tobacco use, dietary
behavior, physical activity, cancer screening, HPV
vaccination, virus exposure, sun protection, and medical
decision-making
•
Interested in genetic, biological, psychosocial and
contextual influences (e.g., relationships, stress, executive
control)

treatment
• Aging and cancer
• HPV vaccination
Selected Research Priorities
• Innovative study design and methods for
developing, testing, and implementing
behavioral interventions
• Vision, perception, and attention related to
cancer
