The National Cancer Institute is offering a grant to support the early-stage development of technologies aimed at improving the quality of biospecimens used in cancer research and clinical care. This grant will fund projects focusing on innovative technologies to address pre-analytical degradation issues during the collection, processing, handling, and storage of cancer-relevant samples. The goal is to develop tools and methods that assess sample quality, preserve integrity, and establish quality control criteria. Ultimately, these technologies aim to enhance cancer research by minimizing variations that impact biospecimen quality, thereby advancing research in cancer biology, early detection, clinical diagnosis, and treatment.

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits grant applications proposing exploratory research projects focused on the early-stage development of technologies that improve the quality of the samples used for cancer research or clinical care. This includes innovative technologies that address issues related to pre-analytical degradation of targeted analytes during the collection, processing, handling, and storage of cancer-relevant biospecimens. The overall goal is to support the development of highly innovative technologies capable of maximizing or otherwise interrogating the quality and utility of biological samples used for downstream analyses. This FOA will support the development of tools, devices, instrumentation, and associated methods to assess sample quality, preserve/protect sample integrity, and establish verification criteria for quality assessment/quality control and handling under diverse conditions. These technologies are expected to potentially accelerate and/or enhance research in cancer biology, early detection, screening, clinical diagnosis, treatment, epidemiology, and cancer health disparities, by reducing pre-analytical variations that affect biospecimen sample quality. |
