Grant Description

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) will fund a new Cancer Systems Biology Consortium (CSBC) that includes the U24 Coordinating Center (to be supported under this RFA-CA-15-015), U54 CSBC Research Centers (to be supported under companion RFA-CA-15-014), and other relevant research projects supported through the U01 funding mechanism.
