Comprehensive Minority Institution/Cancer Center Partnership (U54): -The National Cancer Institute (NCI) invites cooperative agreement applications (U54) for the implementation of Comprehensive Minority Institution/Cancer Center Partnerships between Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) and NCI-designated Cancer Centers (or groups of Centers). The purpose of this grant is to provide opportunities for intensive collaborations among MSIs and the Cancer Centers in order to develop stronger national cancer programs aimed at understanding the reasons behind the significant cancer disparities and impact on minority populations. -The NCI intends to commit approximately $3.5 in total costs in FY 06 to fund two (one pair) or three (one triad) new and/or competitive continuation grants in response to this RFA. An applicant may request a project period of up to 5 years. -This funding opportunity will use the National Institutes of Health (NIH) cooperative agreement specialized center (U54) award mechanism. -Eligible organizations include for-profit, non-profit, public or private and domestic MSIs (e.g., Historically Black Colleges and Universities [HBCUs], Hispanic-Serving Institutions [HSIs], and Tribal Institutions [e.g., colleges]) either in the United States or in territories under U.S. jurisdiction, and institutions that are NCI-designated Cancer Centers (or groups of Centers) that wish to develop comprehensive partnerships. -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, 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. -Eligible principal investigators (PIs) include individuals with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research. They should work with their institution to develop an application for support. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply for this opportunity.
