This grant, offered by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), is for advancing cancer etiology and early detection biomarker research. It requires utilizing the NCI-sponsored PLCO (Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer) Screening Trial Biorepository. This resource provides high-quality, prospectively collected, pre-diagnostic blood samples, buccal cells, and extensive demographic/clinical data. The funding supports biochemical and genetic analyses of cancer risk, plus discovery and validation of early detection biomarkers. Proposed projects must use PLCO biospecimens to qualify; those not involving these resources will not be supported.

| 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. |
