Grant Description
-Purpose. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA), issued by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), invites grant applications from institutions and organizations that are interested in developing and testing innovative methods in cancer detection, diagnosis, and prognosis. The NCI is especially interested in research studies that focus on the development and testing of improved methods for detecting specific characteristics of cancer, which can be subsequently used for the clinical management of cancer patients or individuals who are at risk for (developing) cancer. It is important that research studies focus on the search for molecular and cellular differences between tumors, pre-malignant, or normal tissues. The studies should determine the clinical translational significance of these differences by correlation with clinical parameters, in order to answer clinical problems related to detection, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA utilizes the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Grant (R21) mechanism. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. 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
