Description
Through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), National Cancer Institute (NCI) solicits grant applications proposing exploratory research projects focused on further development and validation of emerging technologies that improve the quality and handling of samples used for cancer research or clinical care. Through this NOFO, NCI will support the development of tools, devices, assays, and associated methods for the collection, handling, processing, preservation, or storage of cancer-relevant biospecimens and their derivatives. This includes tools with new capabilities to preserve or protect sample integrity, or establish verification criteria for quality assessment/quality control and address issues related to pre-analytical degradation of of targeted analytes. Major feasibility gaps for the technology or methodology should have already been overcome, as demonstrated by supportive preliminary data, but the tool requires further development and rigorous validation. These technologies are expected to accelerate and/or enhance research in cancer biology, early detection and screening, clinical diagnosis, treatment, or epidemiology and/or address issues associated with cancer health disparities. This funding opportunity is part of a broader NCI-sponsored Innovative Molecular Analysis Technologies (IMAT) Program.
