Grant Description
The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to encourage exploratory and developmental research projects (R21) grant applications in the cancer control research continuum (i.e., primary prevention to end of life care) from investigators representing a range of behavioral and social science disciplines. With this FOA, the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) invites the submission of R21 grant applications that describe research projects that will utilize developmental and exploratory approaches to primary and secondary cancer prevention and control. Research areas may include: cancer health and risk communication; enhancing cancer survivorship; promoting healthy diet and physical activity; prevention and control of tobacco use; interaction between psychosocial and biological mechanisms; cancer screening behaviors; and palliative and end-of-life care.-Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications; therefore, the anticipated number of awards is not known. -This FOA utilizes the NIH Exploratory/Developmental (R21) grant mechanism. -Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. -The total project period for an application submitted in response to this funding opportunity may not exceed 2 years. Direct costs are limited to $275,000 over an R21 2-year period, with no more than $200,000 in direct costs allowed in any single year. -Eligible organizations include: for-profit organizations; non-profit organizations; public or private institutions, such as universities, colleges, hospitals and laboratories; units of State governments; units of local governments; eligible institutions of the Federal government; domestic institutions; foreign institutions; faith-based or community-based organizations; Indian/Native American Tribal Government (Federally Recognized); Indian/Native American Tribal Government (Other than Federally Recognized); and Indian/Native American Tribally Designated Organization. - Eligible Project Directors/Principal Investigators (PDs/PIs) include any individuals from the applicant institutions who have the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH support. -Applicants may submit more than one application, provided each application is scientifically distinct.
