The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is offering grants to support the early-stage development of innovative technologies improving the quality of biospecimens for cancer research. This opportunity aims to address pre-analytical degradation issues, enhance sample integrity, and establish quality control criteria. These technologies are expected to advance cancer biology, early detection, diagnosis, treatment, and epidemiology research, while reducing variations in biospecimen quality. Applicants can propose tools, devices, and methods to enhance sample quality and utility. This grant opportunity is part of the NCI’s Innovative Molecular Analysis Technologies (IMAT) Program. Closing date: September 29, 2020.

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits grant applications proposing exploratory research projects focused on the early-stage development of highly innovative technologies that improve the quality of the samples used for cancer research or clinical care. This includes new capabilities to address issues related to pre-analytical degradation of targeted analytes during the collection, processing, handling, and/or 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 preserve or protect sample integrity, or establish verification criteria for quality assessment/quality control and handling under diverse conditions. These technologies are expected to accelerate and/or enhance research in cancer biology, early detection and screening, clinical diagnosis, treatment, epidemiology, or address issues associated with cancer health disparities, by reducing pre-analytical variations that affect biospecimen sample quality. This funding opportunity is part of a broader NCI-sponsored Innovative Molecular Analysis Technologies (IMAT) Program. |
