The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is offering the Cancer Nanotechnology Training Centers (CNTCs) grant, a key component of the NCI Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer. This initiative aims to establish innovative, multi-disciplinary research education programs to develop a skilled nanotechnology workforce capable of advancing cancer research. The grant is for graduate students and post-doctoral researchers from diverse backgrounds, including medicine, biology, physical sciences, and engineering. Supported through the NIH Research Education (R25) mechanism, the program primarily focuses on mentored, laboratory-based training via dedicated research projects. Awards may cover participant salaries for up to two years, alongside courses and seminars. NCI has committed approximately $2.5 million for FY 2010, anticipating 3-5 awards.

| Description: | Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications for the development of: Cancer Nanotechnology Training Centers (CNTCs) as a component of the NCI Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer (The Alliance) (http://nano.cancer.gov). In addition to the CNTCs, the Alliance will consist of the Centers for Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence (CCNEs, as the core of the program infrastructure), platform projects (CNPPs), and a K99/00 career transition program. The CNTCs are designed to establish innovative research education programs supporting the development of a multi-disciplinary nanotechnology workforce capable of pursuing cancer research. The proposed CNTCs should target graduate student and post-doctoral researchers of broad background (in medicine, biology, and other health sciences as well as in the physical sciences, chemistry, and engineering). The program of multi-disciplinary research education in cancer nanotechnology should be primarily focused on mentored laboratory-based training through participation in dedicated training research projects. In addition to funds for the training projects, CNTC awards may be used to support participants salaries for up to two years. Courses, seminars, and other forms of research education may also be included in the CNTC program. This FOA is open to all qualified applicants regardless of whether or not they participated in the previous issuance of the Alliance program. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will use the NIH Research Education (R25) grant mechanism. Research education programs may not be transferred from one institution to another, unless strongly justified (see Section VI.2). Separate FOAs will solicit applications for the Centers for Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence awards (U54 funding mechanism, RFA-CA-09-012), the Cancer Nanotechnology Platform Partnerships (U01 mechanism, RFA-CA-09-013), and K99/R00 career transition grants (RFA-CA-09-015). Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. For this CNTCs FOA, the NCI has committed approximately $2.5 million in total costs for FY 2010. Approximately 3-5 awards are expected in connection with this FOA. |
