This FOA is a limited competition solicitation intended for: (a) extending the support under the U54 mechanism for the best of the currently funded MI/CCPs; and (b) elevating to the full MI/CCP status the best partnerships currently in the planning/developing phase (supported by U56 awards under Cooperative Planning Grant for Comprehensive Minority Institution/ Cancer Center Partnership).
