The National Cancer Institute is offering a grant for exploratory research projects focused on developing early-stage, highly innovative technologies for analyzing cancer at the molecular or cellular level. This grant aims to support emerging technologies with transformative potential that have not been previously explored for cancer-related purposes. The emphasis is on technologies that can significantly impact investigations into the molecular and cellular aspects of cancer, accelerating research in cancer biology, early detection, clinical diagnosis, treatment, and more. Projects must focus on molecular and cellular characterizations of cancer, with the potential for widespread applicability. Deadline for applications is September 18, 2014.

| Description:: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits grant applications proposing exploratory research projects focused on the inception and development of early stage, highly innovative, technologies for the molecular or cellular analysis of cancer. Emerging technologies with significant transformative potential that have not yet been explored in a cancer-relevant use may also be considered. 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 cancer-relevant use intended in the application and requires significant modification for the proposed application to establish feasibility. 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, early detection and screening, clinical 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. |
