The National Cancer Institute is offering a grant opportunity for Biomarker Developmental Laboratories (BDLs) as part of the Early Detection Research Network. The focus is on discovering, developing, and validating biomarkers for risk assessment and early detection of various cancers, including breast, prostate, lung, and other genitourinary organs. The BDLs will work on developing new biomarkers and refining existing ones to improve cancer detection and diagnosis. Applications must target cancers with rising incidence rates or unique etiology. Proposals for cancers such as endometrial, kidney, oropharyngeal, and mesothelioma are encouraged. Closing date for applications is May 23, 2016.

| Description: | The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to solicit organ-specific applications for Biomarker Developmental Laboratories (BDLs), one of the four scientific units of the recently funded Early Detection Research Network (EDRN). The EDRN is a national infrastructure funded to discover, develop, and validate biomarkers for risk assessment, detection, and molecular diagnosis and prognosis of early cancer. BDLs are responsible for the discovery, development, characterization, and testing of new, or the refinement of existing, biomarkers and biomarker assays for risk assessment, detection, and molecular diagnosis and prognosis of cancers. The existing BDLs are primarily focused on ovary and gastrointestinal cancers. The proposed BDLs (to be supported under this FOA) must be focused on cancers of the breast, prostate and other genitourinary organs, and lung. In addition, cancers with rapidly rising incidence rates, e.g., endometrial, hepatocellular, kidney, thyroid, oropharyngeal cancers, and/or cancers with unique etiology, e.g., mesothelioma, will be responsive. |
