The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is offering a grant to support research in cancer etiology and early detection using the unique biorepository resources of the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer (PLCO) Screening Trial. The grant encourages projects that involve biochemical and genetic analyses of cancer risk, as well as the discovery and validation of early detection biomarkers. Research proposals must utilize the high-quality PLCO biospecimens, including pre-diagnostic blood samples and buccal cells, along with associated demographic, diet, lifestyle, and clinical data. Projects not utilizing PLCO biospecimens will not be considered. Application deadline: August 11, 2021.

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages the submission of applications that propose to advance research in cancer etiology and early detection biomarkers, utilizing the advantages of the unique biorepository resources of the NCI-sponsored Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer (PLCO) Screening Trial. The PLCO Biorepository offers high-quality, prospectively collected, serial pre-diagnostic blood samples from the PLCO screened arm participants, and a onetime collection of buccal cells from the control arm participants. Available data associated with the biospecimens includes demographic, diet, lifestyle, smoking, screening results, and clinical data. This FOA supports a wide range of cancer research including, but not limited to, biochemical and genetic analyses of cancer risk, as well as discovery and validation of early detection biomarkers. The proposed research project must involve use of PLCO biospecimens; additionally, it should also take advantage of the unique characteristics of the PLCO biospecimens. Research projects that do not involve the use of PLCO biospecimens will not be supported under this FOA. |
