The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is offering this grant to support exploratory, early-stage development of highly innovative molecular and cellular analysis technologies. This grant is for creating novel capabilities to probe and assess cancer’s molecular and cellular features for basic or clinical research. Emphasis is placed on high technical innovation that can significantly improve cancer characterizations. Projects should accelerate research in areas including cancer biology, early detection, diagnosis, treatment, and epidemiology, or address cancer health disparities. This funding is part of NCI’s Innovative Molecular Analysis Technologies (IMAT) Program.

| Description: | Through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) solicits grant applications proposing exploratory research projects focused on the early-stage development of highly innovative technologies offering novel molecular or cellular analysis capabilities for basic or clinical cancer research. The emphasis of this NOFO is on supporting the development of novel capabilities involving a high degree of technical innovation for targeting, probing, or assessing molecular and cellular features of cancer biology. Technologies proposed for development may be intended to have widespread applicability but must be focused on improving molecular and/or cellular characterizations of cancer biology. Well-suited applications must offer the potential to accelerate and/or enhance research in the areas of cancer biology, early detection and screening, clinical diagnosis, treatment, control, or epidemiology, and/or address issues associated with cancer health disparities. This funding opportunity is part of a broader NCI-sponsored Innovative Molecular Analysis Technologies (IMAT) Program. |
