National Cancer Institute

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is requesting competing supplemental
applications from NCI-designated Cancer Centers funded through P30 Cancer Center
Support Grants.  This supplemental initiative is intended to assist Cancer
Centers in building a research capability in cancer control and population
sciences research through provision of developmental funds for innovative pilot
research projects having potential, ultimately, to compete for R01 support.  The
initiative is part of a continuing effort to stimulate and strengthen research
in cancer control and population sciences in NCI-designated Cancer Centers as an
important component of the broad research portfolio of the program as a whole. 
 NCI-designated Cancer Centers possess the infrastructure, organization, 
leadership, and integrated multidisciplinary research objectives that enable them
to build and incorporate new programs in emerging areas of cancer research.

NCI staff will contact the current grantees directly regarding application
procedures and format.
