About This Grant
The Cancer Imaging Program (CIP) of the Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis (DCTD) solicits exploratory/developmental (R21) applications that articulate high risk and/or high impact research focused on in vivo cancer imaging for detection, diagnosis, and monitoring of response to therapy. Topics considered responsive to this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will cover the entire spectrum of in vivo cancer imaging research, from basic discovery of new cancer imaging agents and technologies, through pre-clinical testing and validation, to the early feasibility testing of those novel agents and technologies in small clinical trials. This FOA utilizes the NIH exploratory/developmental R21 grant mechanism only. The R21 is not renewable. The total project period for an application submitted in response to this FOA may not exceed 2 years. Direct costs are limited to $275,000 over an R21 2-year period, with no more than $200,000 in direct costs allowed in any single year. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. Eligible organizations include: For-profit organizations; non-profit organizations; public or private institutions, such as universities, colleges, hospitals and laboratories; units of State governments; units of local governments; eligible institutions of the Federal government; domestic institutions; foreign institutions; faith-based or community-based organizations; Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Federally Recognized); Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Other than Federally Recognized); and Indian/Native American Tribally Designated Organizations. Eligible Project Directors/Principal Investigators (PDs/PIs): Any individual with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research; any eligible PD/PI is invited to work with their institution to develop an application for support. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH support. Applicants may submit more than one application, provided each application is scientifically distinct.
