Grant Description

Purpose:This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is designed to enhance the basic and applied cancer prevention research. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) invites applications that propose small and time-limited projects pertinent to the development of cancer chemoprevention agents, biomarkers for early cancer detection, cancer-related nutrition science, and/or clinical prevention studies that focus on specific target organs. Proposed projects may involve basic and/or translational research and/or human subjects-oriented research. However, treatment-related quality-of-life population-based studies, as well as projects focused on cancer etiology, metastasis, or treatment will be considered non-responsive to this FOA. New, as well as established, investigators in relevant fields and disciplines (e.g., chemoprevention, nutritional science, genetics, infectious agents, and early detection, including biomarker development and validation) are encouraged to apply for these small grants to test the feasibility of innovative ideas or carry out pilot studies. Ultimately, these small grants are expected to facilitate the development of full research projects (e.g., research project grants/parent R01)
