The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is offering the R03 Small Research Grant to support basic, pre-clinical, and clinical complementary cancer research. This grant is for advancing the science of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) across cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and symptom management. It encourages innovative projects, including identifying novel therapeutics from Traditional Medical Systems, utilizing complementary approaches to enhance standard anti-cancer therapies, and investigating lifestyle modifications’ impact on cancer outcomes. The R03 mechanism specifically supports pilot studies, methodology development, and small, self-contained projects, providing a crucial foundation for future, larger research endeavors to definitively assess the efficacy of CAM approaches.

| Description: | Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), of the National Institutes of Health, invites applications for basic, pre-clinical, and clinical complementary cancer research. The research should relate to the areas of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer as well as management of cancer symptoms and side effects due to conventional cancer treatment. In addition, this FOA encourages the development and application of emerging and innovative technologies, including identification of novel therapeutics in the pharmacopeia of Traditional Medical Systems (as defined by the World Health Organization), use of complementary approaches to improve the therapeutic ratio of standard and investigational anti-cancer therapies, and research on lifestyle modifications (e.g. diet, exercise, mind-body approaches) for their impact on cancer outcomes (e.g., response to conventional therapy, survival). The overarching goals of this FOA is to encourage investigators to submit high quality, preliminary research of humans that will advance the science of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) and provide a solid foundation and justification for future research project (R01) grant applications to definitively determine the efficacy of CAM approaches. The R03 grant mechanism supports different types of projects including pilot and feasibility studies; secondary analysis of existing data; small, self-contained research projects; development of research methodology; and development of new research technology. The R03 is intended to support small research projects that can be carried out in a short period of time with limited resources. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Small Research Grant (R03) award mechanism and runs in parallel with an FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-09-167, that encourages applications under the R21 mechanism. |
