Application of Emerging Technologies for Cancer Research (R21/R33): This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), solicits exploratory grant applications for research projects proposing the development of highly innovative cancer-relevant molecular biology technologies. Technology encompasses methods and tools that enable research, including but not limited to, instrumentation, techniques, and devices. -This FOA will utilize the NIH Phased Innovation Award (R21/R33) grant mechanisms and runs in parallel with two other FOAs of identical scientific scope, RFA-CA-07-017 and RFA-CA-07-018, that invite applications under the Exploratory/Developmental Grant (R21) award mechanism and the Exploratory/Developmental Phase II Grant (R33) award mechanism, respectively. -This funding opportunity is part of a broader NCI-sponsored Innovative Molecular Analysis Technologies (IMAT) Program. Several IMAT FOAs of identical or closely related scientific scope using various funding mechanisms are available. To facilitate selection, a separate Notice in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts provides brief cross-comparison and links to all the IMAT FOAs. See NOT-CA-06-025. -Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications. -The NCI intends to commit a total of up to $500,000 to this FOA in fiscal year 2007 to fund up to 4 grants. -Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. -Budget and Project Period. An applicant for an R21/R33 grant may request a project period of up to 2 years and a budget for total direct costs of up to $275,000 for the R21 phase of the award, in keeping with standard R21 mechanism guidelines. In the R33 phase, an applicant may request a project period of up to 3 years and a budget appropriate for the science proposed. -Eligible Organizations: For profit organizations; non-profit organizations; public or private institutions, such as universities, colleges, hospitals and laboratories; units of State and local governments; eligible agencies of the Federal government; domestic or foreign institutions/organizations; faith-based or community-based organizations; Indian/Native American Tribal Government (Federally Recognized); Indian/Native American Tribal Government (Other than Federally Recognized); and Indian/Native American Tribally Designated Organization -Eligible Project Directors/Principal Investigators (PDs/PIs): Any individual with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research is invited to work with their institution to develop an application for support. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH support. Applicants may submit more than one application, provided each application is scientifically distinct.
