Sustained Support for Informatics Technologies for Cancer Research and Management (U24 Clinical Trial Optional)
Due in 2 daysNational Institutes of Health · $50K–$600K
This NIH (NCI) U24 cooperative agreement funds the continued operation and maintenance of established, widely-adopted informatics tools and resources used across cancer research; clinical trials are optional. Applicants must demonstrate that their resource is already widely used and has had significant impact, so it targets teams maintaining existing informatics infrastructure rather than new projects. Foreign organizations and the foreign components of U.S. organizations are eligible to apply, and foreign components are allowed. Awards range from about $50,000 to $600,000.
