Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Technology Development for Cancer Control and Population Science Research

The purpose of this Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) is to encourage grant applications for the development of novel technologies to support the needs of cancer control and population sciences research including healthcare delivery research, surveillance research, behavioral research, cancer epidemiology, and population scale -omics research with the goal of driving innovation in this field.

Background

NCI administers two unique programs focused on the development of technologies that offer transformative potential for advancing cancer research. The Innovative Molecular Analysis Technologies (IMAT) program supports highly innovative, data-generating platforms and methodologies. The program solicits grant applications for early-stage development of novel tools and methods that enable cancer researchers across the entire spectrum of cancer research. The Informatics Technologies for Cancer Research (ITCR) program supports powerful data analysis, management, and visualization technologies. The program supports research-driven informatics technology development spanning all aspects of cancer research and across the tool development lifecycle.

While NCI has been successful in soliciting novel technology development proposals that focus on advancing basic biological research and clinical cancer research, there have been fewer applications received that are specifically aimed at addressing technology gaps that might accelerate research for investigators focused on cancer control and population sciences, including cancer healthcare delivery, surveillance, behavior, epidemiology, and population-scale -omics research.
