This department is offering the Alliance of Glycobiologists for Cancer Research Grant for research projects focusing on identifying glycan-based abnormalities as biomarkers for early cancer detection. Projects should investigate changes in cellular carbohydrates at the level of glycoproteins, glycolipids, and glycosaminoglycans. Applicants are encouraged to study how these biomarkers can distinguish individuals with cancer from those without. Clinical validation studies for the most promising biomarker candidates are expected in the future. The closing date for applications is February 7, 2019.

| Description: | The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to continue support for the program referred to as the Alliance of Glycobiologists for Cancer Research (http://glycomics.cancer.gov). Through this FOA, the NCI encourages research projects to elucidate how changes in cellular carbohydrates may promote cancer initiation and progression and use this information to identify glycan-based abnormalities to serve as biomarkers for early cancer detection or risk assessment. These changes may be studied at the level of glycoproteins, glycolipids, glycosaminoglycans, and/or their binding proteins. In their applications, applicants are encouraged to address the ability of these biomarker candidates to accurately distinguish individuals with cancer from those without. It is expected that the most promising biomarker candidates will ultimately be tested in clinical validation studies, although such validation studies are not required for the proposed projects. All investigators with appropriate expertise and capabilities, irrespective of any prior association with this Alliance, are encouraged to consider applying to this FOA. |
