National Cancer Institute Grants: Early-Stage Innovative Technology Development for Cancer Research (R21)

The National Cancer Institute is offering grants for exploratory research projects to develop highly innovative technologies for cancer research. This funding opportunity focuses on emerging technologies with transformative potential that have not yet been explored in a cancer-relevant context. Emphasis is on technologies with technical innovation to impact investigations in cancer biology, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and health disparities. Projects should accelerate cancer research by enhancing molecular and cellular studies. Applications should propose technologies requiring modification for cancer-specific uses. The closing date for this grant is September 18, 2012.

Description::	This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), solicits grant applications proposing exploratory research projects focused on the inception and development of early stage, highly innovative, technologies or emerging technologies with significant transformative potential that has not yet been explored in a cancer-relevant use. An emerging technology is defined (for the purpose of this FOA) as one that has passed the initial developmental stage, but has not yet been evaluated within the context of a cancer-relevant intended use and requires significant modification for the proposed application. The emphasis of this FOA is on technologies with a high degree of technical innovation with the potential to significantly affect and transform investigations exploring the molecular and cellular bases of cancer. If successful, these technologies would accelerate and/or enhance research in the areas of cancer biology, prevention, diagnosis and treatment, control, epidemiology, and/or cancer health disparities. Technologies proposed for development may be intended to have widespread applicability but must be based on molecular and/or cellular characterizations of cancer.
