This National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant is for funding innovative synthetic biology approaches aimed at addressing critical challenges across the spectrum of cancer research. It seeks applications proposing to develop and apply engineered biological systems to well-defined and important cancer research questions. The program specifically encourages the formation of collaborative, transdisciplinary teams. These teams should ideally comprise principal investigators with diverse expertise, including cancer research, various engineering disciplines, and other fields relevant to synthetic biology. This U01 funding opportunity, which does not support clinical trials, is designed to foster cutting-edge, collaborative efforts to advance our understanding and treatment of cancer through novel biological engineering solutions.
