Grant Description

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits grant applications proposing exploratory research projects focused on the advanced development of emerging molecular or cellular analysis technologies for basic or clinical cancer research. This FOA solicits R33 applications where proof-of-principle for the emerging technology or methodology has been provided with supportive preliminary data demonstrating a novel capability for targeting, probing, or assessing molecular and cellular features of cancer biology. Well-suited applications must offer the potential to accelerate and/or enhance research in the areas of cancer biology, early detection and screening, clinical diagnosis, treatment, control, epidemiology, and/or cancer health disparities. Technologies proposed for development may be intended to have widespread applicability but must be focused on improving molecular and/or cellular characterizations of cancer. Projects proposing to use established technologies where the novelty resides in the biological or clinical question being pursued are not appropriate for this solicitation and will not be reviewed.
