The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has posted a grant opportunity titled "Advanced Development of Informatics Technologies for Cancer Research and Management (U24 Clinical Trial Optional)". This grant aims to support the development and enhancement of emerging informatics technologies that improve the acquisition, management, analysis, and dissemination of data and knowledge in cancer research.
The grant focuses on informatics technology that has passed the initial prototyping and pilot development stage, has the potential for significant impact, and has not been widely adopted in the cancer research field. The goal is to address priority needs in cancer research across the entire cancer research continuum, including cancer biology, treatment and diagnosis, early detection, risk assessment and prevention, cancer control and epidemiology, and cancer health disparities.
Applicants must provide a clear rationale for the proposed technology and demonstrate how it will benefit the cancer research field. The development plans should include mechanisms to solicit feedback from users and collaborators throughout the process. The grant does not require cost sharing or matching.
The maximum award ceiling for this grant is $600,000. The opportunity is open to various eligible applicants, including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions, eligible agencies of the Federal Government, faith-based or community-based organizations, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Indian/Native American Tribal Governments, non-domestic entities, regional organizations, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and U.S. Territories or Possessions.
