Innovative Technologies for Molecular Analysis of Cancer (Sbir/Sttr): This RFA will utilize the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) mechanisms, but will be run in parallel with a RFA of identical scientific scope (CA-05-002, http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-CA-05-002.html) that will utilize the exploratory/developmental research Phase I (R21) mechanism and the exploratory/developmental research Phase II (R33) mechanism . The National Cancer Institute (NCI) invites applications for research projects proposing the development of highly innovative cancer-relevant technologies. Technology encompasses methods and tools that enable research, including, but not limited to, instrumentation, techniques, and devices. Technology is distinct from resources such as databases, reagents, and tissue repositories. Applications for support of such resources will not be considered to be responsive to this RFA. Technologies solicited include, but are not necessarily limited to, those that are suitable for the detection of alterations and instabilities of genomic DNA; measurement of the expression of genes and gene products, including proteins; analysis and detection of gene and/or cellular products, including post-translational modifications and functions of proteins; identification and characterization of exogenous infectious agents in cancer; and assaying the functions of major signal transduction networks involved in cancer. Developing technologies would include those that will support molecular analysis in vitro, in situ, or in vivo in discovery processes as well as in pre-clinical models and clinical research. This initiative is part of a broader technology development program within the NCI to harness technology in the fight against cancer. The NCI technology program underscores the desire of NCI to develop and integrate novel and emerging technologies in the support of cancer research, diagnosis, and treatment. In the research continuum of discovery, development, and delivery, this program accelerates development and delivery. This specific initiative will serve as the discovery tool of the larger program by soliciting and funding highly innovative, high risk and cancer-relevant technology development projects associated with the molecular analysis of cancer. This initiative capitalizes on both the success and intent of the original NCI sponsored Innovative Molecular Analysis Technologies (IMAT) program in bringing together a multi-disciplinary group of scientists and engineers to work on cancer and the expansion of interest in technology development across the NCI and other NIH institutes. This continuation of the IMAT program consists of the following three initiatives: Innovative Technologies for the Molecular Analysis of Cancer; Innovations in Cancer Sample Preparation; and Application of Emerging Technologies for Cancer Research. This RFA is designed to support technology development projects. Technologies developed or adapted for sample preparation methodology may be most suitable for RFA (CA-05-008), Innovations in Cancer Sample Preparation SBIR/STTR (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-CA-05-008.html ). Research projects to evaluate emerging technologies that are ready for initial clinical or biological application in cancer research may be most suitable for RFA (CA-05-007), Application of Emerging Technologies for Cancer Research SBIR/STTR (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-CA-05- 007.html ) (see MECHANISMS OF SUPPORT). Researchers who emphasize the assessment of in vivo imaging technologies as the primary focus of their grant applications should contact the Cancer Imaging Program http://www3.cancer.gov/bip/) for information on appropriate funding opportunities. Researchers focusing on applying new bioinformatics or statistical techniques as the primary focus of their applications should consider one of the BISTI initiatives (http://www.bisti.nih.gov/bistic_funding.cfm).
