Description

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering a federal grant opportunity titled "Integrating Biospecimen Science Approaches into Clinical Assay Development (U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)". This grant aims to support extramural research in investigating and mitigating challenges faced in clinical assay development and subsequent analytical validation due to preanalytical variability in tumor tissue biopsies, blood biospecimens utilized as liquid biopsies, or other biospecimens. The research funded under this grant will explore the preanalytical variability associated with the procurement and study of various biospecimens, such as small biopsies, blood, tissue swabs, tissue secretions, and bodily fluids. The goal is to improve the understanding of how different preanalytical conditions affect biomarkers and to expedite biomarker clinical assay development through evidence-based standardization of biopsy handling practices. The grant does not require cost sharing or matching and falls under the category of health. The deadline for application submission is September 13, 2024.

Revision Applications for Validation of Biomarker Assays Developed Through NIH-Supported Research Grants (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Active
National Institutes of Health
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has posted a grant opportunity titled "Revision Applications for Validation of Biomarker Assays Developed Through NIH-Supported Research Grants (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)". This grant opportunity falls under the category of Health and is a discretionary grant. The grant does not require cost sharing or matching. The purpose of this grant is to accelerate the translation of NCI-supported methods/assays/technologies to the clinic, specifically focusing on the adaptation and clinical validation of molecular/cellular/imaging markers (referred to as "markers" or "biomarkers") for cancer detection, diagnosis, prognosis, monitoring, and prediction of response in treatment, as well as markers for cancer control and prevention. The grant encourages multi-disciplinary interaction among scientific investigators, assay developers, clinicians, statisticians, and clinical laboratory staff. The grant does not support early-stage development of technology or the conduct of clinical trials, but rather the adaptation and validation of assays to the point where they could be integrated into clinical trials as investigational assays/tools/devices. The grant has a closing date of October 13, 2026, and an award ceiling of $150,000.

Innovative Biospecimen Science Technologies for Basic and Clinical Cancer Research (R61 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Active
National Institutes of Health
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering a grant opportunity titled "Innovative Biospecimen Science Technologies for Basic and Clinical Cancer Research" under the category of Health. This grant aims to support exploratory research projects focused on the early-stage development of highly innovative technologies that improve the quality of samples used for cancer research or clinical care. The goal is to address issues related to the degradation of targeted analytes during the collection, processing, handling, and storage of cancer-relevant biospecimens. The grant will support the development of tools, devices, instrumentation, and methods to preserve or protect sample integrity, establish verification criteria for quality assessment and control, and handle samples under diverse conditions. The technologies developed through this grant are expected to accelerate and enhance research in cancer biology, early detection and screening, clinical diagnosis, treatment, epidemiology, and address issues associated with cancer health disparities. Eligible applicants include various institutions and organizations, such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Faith-based or Community-based Organizations, and U.S. Territories or Possessions. The grant does not require cost sharing or matching. The closing date for applications is October 1, 2024.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has posted a grant opportunity titled "Advanced Development and Validation of Emerging Biospecimen Science Technologies for Basic and Clinical Cancer Research (R33 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)". This grant aims to support exploratory research projects focused on the development and validation of emerging technologies that improve the quality of samples used for cancer research or clinical care. The grant seeks to address issues related to the degradation of targeted analytes during the collection, processing, handling, and storage of cancer-relevant biospecimens. It specifically solicits R33 applications that have overcome major feasibility gaps for the technology or methodology, demonstrated with supportive preliminary data, but still require further development and rigorous validation. The goal of this grant is to develop highly innovative technologies that maximize the quality and utility of biological samples used for downstream analyses. It aims to support the development of tools, devices, instrumentation, and associated methods that preserve or protect sample integrity, establish verification criteria for quality assessment and control, and handle samples under diverse conditions. These technologies are expected to accelerate and enhance research in cancer biology, early detection and screening, clinical diagnosis, treatment, epidemiology, and address issues associated with cancer health disparities. By reducing pre-analytical variations that affect biospecimen sample quality, the grant aims to improve the overall quality of cancer research and clinical care. The grant does not require cost sharing or matching requirements and 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. The closing date for applications is October 1, 2024, and the maximum award ceiling is $300,000.
