The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is offering this grant opportunity to establish Precancer Atlas (PCA) Research Centers. This grant is for constructing comprehensive three-dimensional (3D) and dynamic atlases of human precancerous lesions and their microenvironments. The core purpose is to understand the transition from these lesions to malignancy. Each PCA Research Center will develop a 3D precancer atlas, meticulously characterizing cellular, molecular, and spatial features of pre-malignant states. These centers are a key component of the Human Tumor Atlas Network (HTAN), a collaborative initiative dedicated to mapping the progression of human cancers from precancerous lesions to advanced disease.

| Description: | The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to solicit applications for Precancer Atlas (PCA) Research Centers, one of the three scientific components of the Human Tumor Atlas Network (HTAN) (https://humantumoratlas.org/).HTAN is a collaborative research initiative for constructing 3-dimensional(3D) and dynamic atlases of the cellular, morphological, molecular, and spatial features of human cancers and their surrounding microenvironments as they progress from precancerous lesions to advanced disease.Each PCA Research Center will construct one 3D precancer atlas that comprehensively characterizes a pre-malignant lesion with an explicit focus on understanding the transition from a precancerous lesion to malignancy. The other two HTAN components are Human Tumor Atlas (HTA) Research Centers and a Data Coordinating Center (DCC).Each HTA Research Center will conduct research to develop onespatial tumor atlas at single-cell resolution driven by specific topics in cancer biology across the continuum from cancer initiation to metastasis. |
