Centers of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence: The NCI invites applications from investigators interested in participating in an initiative to establish up to five Centers for Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence (CCNEs). The CCNEs will be a national resource that will integrate the basic and clinical sciences with engineering to develop and apply nanotechnology to cancer research to accelerate the application of this science to the clinic. Using the NIH U54 cooperative agreement mechanism, the NCI intends to commit approximately $90.8 M in FY 2005-2009 (approximately $20 M in FY 2005) to fund up to five CCNEs. Eligible organizations include for-profit or 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; and domestic institutions and organizations. Foreign institutions may participate as subcontractors within a Center. Any individual with the skills, kn! owledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research is invited to work with his or her institution to develop an application for support. An individual can be the PI on only one application submitted under this announcement. However, an individual may be listed as a participant in multiple CCNE applications provided that his/her research proposals are discrete. Application materials are available from the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER); http://grants.nih.gov/grants/oer.htm.
