This grant, offered by the National Cancer Institute, supports P50 Research Center Grants for Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPOREs). The funding aims to advance translational research for the prevention, early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of organ-specific cancers or related groups. SPOREs are expected to facilitate collaborative research projects, develop core facilities, and enhance research model systems. Projects must focus on human biology using various experimental approaches, leading to translational outcomes. The grant includes support for pilot studies and career enhancement programs in translational research. Applications are open until Sep 23, 2017.

| Description:: |
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications for P50 Research Center Grants for Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPOREs). The program will fund P50 SPORE grants to support state-of-the-art investigator-initiated translational research that will contribute to improved prevention, early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of an organ-specific cancer (or a related group of cancers). For the purpose of this funding announcement, cancers derived from the same organ system (i.e., group of organs that perform common function) are considered related. Examples of such organ systems include gastro-intestinal, endocrine, circulatory, and other biological systems. Other programmatically appropriate groups of cancers may include those centered around a common biological mechanism critical for promoting tumorigenesis and/or cancer progression in organ sites that belong to different organ systems. For example, a SPORE may focus on cancers caused by the same infectious agent, or sustained and promoted by dysregulation of a common signaling pathway. SPOREs are expected not only to conduct a wide spectrum of research activities, but also to contribute significantly to the development of specialized shared resources core facilities, improved research model systems, and collaborative research projects with other institutions. The research supported through this program must be translational in nature and must always be focused upon knowledge of human biology stemming from research using cellular, molecular, structural, biochemical, and/or genetic experimental approaches with the goal of a translational human endpoint within the project period of the grant. In addition, SPOREs must include both a Developmental Research Program for pilot studies and a Career Enhancement Program to foster careers in translational research related to the focus of the SPORE. |
