The National Cancer Institute is offering this grant opportunity (NOFO) to stimulate innovative research and development in the field of ultra-rare pediatric and adult cancers. This grant is specifically designed to encourage new approaches for supporting therapeutic development in these challenging conditions. It also includes molecularly-defined subsets of more common cancers, recognizing that even widespread cancer types can have unique, rare molecular characteristics requiring specialized therapeutic strategies. The initiative aims to accelerate the discovery and advancement of treatments for these often overlooked conditions, ultimately improving outcomes for patients with extremely rare oncological diagnoses. Clinical trial components are optional, allowing flexibility in research design.
