Abstract

National Cancer Institute
Application Receipt/Submission Date(s): Multiple dates, see announcement.
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) represents the continuation of an NCI program to facilitate the transition of investigators in mentored, non-independent cancer research positions to independent faculty cancer research positions. This goal is achieved by providing protected time through salary and research support for the initial 3 years of the first independent tenure-track faculty position, or its equivalent, beginning at the time when the candidate starts a tenure-track faculty position.

Nci Mentored Clinical Scientist Research Career Development Award to Promote Diversity (K08): Par-15-060
National Cancer Institute
Application Receipt/Submission Date(s): Multiple dates, see announcement.
The purpose of the NCI Mentored Clinical Scientist Career Development Award (K08) program is to prepare individuals for careers that have a significant impact on the health-related research needs of the nation. This program represents the continuation of a long-standing NIH program that provides support and protected time to individuals with a clinical doctoral degree for an intensive, supervised research career development experience in the fields of biomedical and behavioral research, including translational research. The NCI-sponsored K08 award is specifically designed to promote career development of clinical scientists from diverse backgrounds that have been shown to be underrepresented in health-related science and for those who are committed to a career in basic biomedical, behavioral or translational cancer research, including research on cancer health disparities. The expectation is that through this sustained period of research career development and training, awardees will develop enhanced research capabilities for cancer research careers and be better prepared to compete for research project grants (e.g. R03, R21, or R01) funding.

Academic-Industrial Partnerships for Translation of Technologies for Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment (R01): Par-15-075
National Cancer Institute
Application Receipt/Submission Date(s): The first due date for all types of applications allowed for this FOA is March 6, 2015. Thereafter Standard dates apply, by 5:00 PM local time of applicant organization. All types of non-AIDS applications allowed for this funding opportunity announcement are due on these dates.
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications from research partnerships formed by academic and industrial investigators, to accelerate the translation of technologies, methods, assays or devices, and/or systems for preclinical or clinical molecular diagnosis or in vitro imaging that are designed to solve a targeted cancer problem. The proposed systems may include molecular diagnosis, molecular imaging or related research resources. Funding may be requested to enhance, adapt, optimize, validate, and otherwise translate the following examples, among others: (a) current commercially supported systems, (b) next-generation systems, (c) quality assurance and quality control, (d) validation and correlation studies, (e) quantitative imaging, and (f) related research resources. Because applications should be translational in scope, this FOA defines innovation as a coherent translational plan to deliver emerging or new capabilities for preclinical or clinical use that are not yet broadly employed in preclinical or clinical settings. In addition, innovation may be considered as delivery of a new capability to end users. The partnership on each application should establish an inter-disciplinary, multi-institutional research team to work in strategic alliance to implement a coherent strategy to develop and translate their system to solve their chosen cancer problem. This FOA will support clinical trials that test functionality, optimize, and validate the performance of the proposed translational work. This FOA does not intend to support either actual commercial production or basic research projects that do not emphasize translation.
