National Cancer Institute: Early-Stage Innovative Molecular Analysis Technology Development for Cancer Research (R21)

The National Cancer Institute is offering a grant to support the inception and development of early-stage, highly innovative molecular analysis technologies for cancer research. This grant aims to explore and transform technologies with significant potential that have not yet been applied in a cancer-relevant context. Projects should focus on advancing research in cancer biology, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and epidemiology through novel molecular and cellular approaches. Proposals for technologies that can impact investigations into the molecular and cellular bases of cancer are encouraged. The closing date for applications is September 20, 2013.

Agency Name::	National Institutes of Health
Description::	This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), solicits grant applications proposing exploratory research projects focused on the inception and development of early stage, highly innovative, technologies or emerging technologies with significant transformative potential that has not yet been explored in a cancer-relevant use. An emerging technology is defined (for the purpose of this FOA) as one that has passed the initial developmental stage, but has not yet been evaluated within the context of a cancer-relevant intended use and requires significant modification for the proposed application. The emphasis of this FOA is on molecular analysis technologies with a high degree of technical innovation with the potential to significantly affect and transform investigations exploring the molecular and cellular bases of cancer. If successful, these technologies would accelerate and/or enhance research in the areas of cancer biology, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, control, epidemiology, and/or cancer health disparities. Technologies proposed for development may be intended to have widespread applicability but must be based on molecular and/or cellular characterizations of cancer.
