The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is offering a grant opportunity (U24) for the advanced development of informatics technologies in cancer research. This grant aims to enhance data acquisition, management, analysis, and dissemination through innovative technologies. The initiative seeks technologies that can accelerate research in various aspects of cancer study. Applicants must focus on technology development and enhancement, excluding projects solely centered on data processing or statistical modeling. Potential applicants are encouraged to refer to companion FOAs for early-stage development opportunities. The deadline for applications is August 6, 2013.

| Description:: | The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite Cooperative Agreement (U24) applications for advanced development and enhancement of emerging informatics technologies to improve the acquisition, management, analysis, and dissemination of data and knowledge in cancer research. An emerging informatics technology is defined as one that has passed the initial prototyping and pilot development stage, has demonstrated potential to have a significant and broader impact, has compelling reasons for further improvement and enhancement, and has not been widely adopted in the cancer research field. If successful, these technologies would accelerate research in cancer biology, cancer treatment and diagnosis, cancer prevention, cancer control and epidemiology, and/or cancer health disparities. This FOA is one component of the NCI’s Informatics Technology for Cancer Research (ITCR) Initiative whose central mission is to promote research-driven informatics technology development.Potential applicants who are interested in early-stage development should consult companion FOAs listed on the previous page.Applications that focus on informatics data processing and analysis or mathematical/statistical modeling alone without informatics technology development are not appropriate for this FOA. |
