Cooperative Planning Grant for Comprehensive Minority Institution/Cancer Center Partnership (U56): -The National Cancer Institute (NCI) invites cooperative agreement applications (U56) 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 cooperative planning grant is to provide opportunities for potential partners to develop plans and initiatives that will enable them to become competitive for a U54 cooperative agreement in order to develop stronger national cancer programs. -The NCI intends to commit approximately $800,000 in total costs in FY 06 and will fund two (one partnership) grants in response to this RFA. An applicant may request a project period of up to 5 years and a budget for direct costs up to $525,000 per pair. -This funding opportunity will use the National Institutes of Health (NIH) cooperative agreement specialized center (U56) 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 from 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. -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 all racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply for this opportunity. -Each eligible institution may submit only one U56 application in response to this RFA.
