The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering a funding opportunity for the Advanced Development and Validation of Emerging Biospecimen Science Technologies for Basic and Clinical Cancer Research, specifically under the R33 Clinical Trial Not Allowed mechanism. This grant aims to support exploratory research projects that focus on developing and validating innovative technologies to enhance the quality of cancer-related biospecimens by addressing pre-analytical degradation during collection, processing, and storage. The initiative is crucial for advancing cancer research methodologies, improving early detection and treatment, and addressing health disparities in cancer care. Interested applicants can apply for up to $300,000 per year for a project period of up to three years, with a total funding ceiling of approximately $900,000 across an estimated two awards. The application deadline is October 1, 2024, and further details can be obtained by contacting NIH Grants Information at grantsinfo@nih.gov or visiting the official announcement at https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-CA-24-011.html.
