This grant, offered by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and National Institutes of Health (NIH), is for the purpose of developing innovative cancer nanotechnology platforms. Known as the Cancer Nanotechnology Platform Partnerships (CNPPs), this initiative is integral to the NCI Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer. The grant aims to foster multi-disciplinary team research and facilitate transformative discoveries in basic and pre-clinical cancer research. Proposed projects should address major barriers and fundamental questions in cancer biology, diagnosis, prevention, and/or treatment through the application of novel nanotechnology solutions. Successful applicants are expected to collaborate within the Alliance network to advance these discoveries. This funding opportunity is open to all qualified applicants seeking to leverage nanotechnology for significant cancer advancements.

| Description: | Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), solicits applications for the development of cancer nanotechnology platforms. This initiative, to be known as the Cancer Nanotechnology Platform Partnerships (CNPPs), is an integral component of a broader program – the NCI Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer (The Alliance) (http://nano.cancer.gov). In addition to CNPPs, the Alliance will consist of the Centers of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence (CCNEs, as the core of the program infrastructure) and two training programs. The CNPPs are designed to enable multi-disciplinary team research and transformative discoveries in basic and pre-clinical cancer research. The proposed individual, circumscribed research projects are expected to address major barriers and/or fundamental questions in cancer biology, diagnosis, prevention, and/or treatment of the disease using innovative nanotechnology solutions. To advance such new nanotechnology discoveries, the proposed platform projects should take advantage of the collaborative environment of the Alliance network. This initiative is open to all qualified applicants regardless of whether or not they participated in the previous issuance of the Alliance program. |
