Based on progress to date, Dr. Aziz-Bose was awarded a new grant in 2026 to fund an additional year of this Fellow grant.

Even after being cured, childhood cancer survivors face challenges to living a healthy life, and one major challenge is heart disease. Heart health is closely linked to healthy eating, but many survivors cannot eat as healthily as they want because they don't have access to, or can't afford, healthy foods ("food insecurity"). Dr. Aziz-Bose will enroll survivors in this study to ask what they are eating, and understand whether they experience food insecurity and other conditions that put heart health at risk. Survivors will also be interviewed for their ideas about how to support healthy eating, including the best ways to directly give families healthy foods, an approach called "food is medicine." Using this information, Dr. Aziz-Bose will fine-tune a "food is medicine" intervention that she developed, and test it on a larger scale to see its impact on food insecurity and heart health. The goal being to understand and tackle barriers to healthy eating so all survivors can have the best health possible.
