Description
Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), solicits grant applications proposing technically innovative feasibility studies focused on the advanced development and validation of cancer-relevant technologies that address the issues related to pre-analytical variations in the collection, processing, handling, and storage of biospecimens or its derivatives. The overall goal is to develop technologies capable of interrogating and/or maximizing the quality and utility of biospecimens or their derived samples for downstream molecular analyses. This FOA will support the development of tools, devices, instrumentation, and associated methods to assess sample quality, preserve/protect sample integrity, and establish verification criteria for quality assessment/quality control and handling under diverse conditions. This FOA solicits R33 applications; this mechanism is suitable for projects where proof-of-principle of the proposed technology or methodology has already been established and supportive preliminary data are available. Projects proposing to use established technologies where the novelty resides in the biological or clinical question being pursued is an example of a topic not appropriate for this solicitation and will be returned as non-responsive. This funding opportunity is part of a broader NCI-sponsored Innovative Molecular Analysis Technologies (IMAT) Program.
Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the R33 grant mechanism and runs in parallel with a FOA of identical scientific scope, RFA-CA-10-001 that solicits applications under the NIH Exploratory/Developmental R21 grant mechanism.
