| Title: | Application and Use of Transformative Emerging Technologies in Cancer Research (R21) |
|---|---|
| Synopsis: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), solicits grant applications proposing exceptionally innovative, high risk, original and/or unconventional research projects focused on evaluating the performance of emerging, potentially transformative molecular and cellular analysis technologies within the context of an appropriate cancer-relevant biological system. The emphasis of this FOA is on the application of emerging molecular and cellular analysis tools with the potential to (i) create new or challenge existing scientific and technological paradigms and/or (ii) overcome technological barriers in important areas of cancer research. |

| Title: | Innovative Technology Development for Cancer Research (R21) |
|---|---|
| Synopsis: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits grant
applications proposing exploratory research projects focused on the
inception and development of early stage, highly innovative and highly
transformative cancer-relevant technologies. The emphasis
of this FOA is on technologies with a high degree of technical innovation
and risk but also with the potential to significantly impact and
transform investigations of the molecular and cellular basis of cancer
if successful.
Technologies proposed for development may have potential widespread applicability but must ultimately be suitable for cancer-relevant analyses such as the detection (at various molecular and cellular levels) of cancer-related characteristics and/or structural and/or functional alterations. Responsive “technologies” encompass relevant techniques, tools, instrumentation, devices and associated methods (but not software or informatics solutions). |

| Title: | Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in Biology and Medicine (R01) |
|---|---|
| Synopsis: | This funding opportunity (FOA) is aimed at enhancing nanoscience and
nanotechnology research focused on problems in biology and medicine.
Nanoscience and nanotechnology refer to research and development on the
understanding and control of matter at a length scale of approximately
1 - 100 nanometers, where novel properties and functions occur because
of the size.
A major challenge facing medicine is to develop novel and more sophisticated approaches for the diagnosis, treatment and management of an array of diseases and traumatic injuries. Nanotechnology and nanoscience have the capacity to drive a new wave of medical innovation through the engineering of bioactive nanoscale structures, processes and systems based on the advancement of our understanding of biology at the nanoscale. |
