Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply.

Three or more institutions (e.g. triads, groups of cancer centers) may apply in response to this announcement only when approved by the NCI prior to submission. MSIs are defined as institutions at which students of minority groups that are underrepresented in the biomedical sciences (e.g., African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Alaskan Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders) comprise a significant proportion of the enrollments AND at which there have been documented records of commitment to the special encouragement of minority faculty, students, and investigators.. Both MSIs with medical schools and MSIs with more focused education and research programs (e.g., Masters and Ph.D. programs) are invited to participate in this initiative. A list of MSIs can be accessed at http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/edlite-minorityinst.html. MSIs that offer only baccalaureate degrees and Tribal Colleges are also invited to participate in this initiative as sub-contractual partners in Minority Institution/Cancer Center Partnerships.
