Description:

Planning Grants for International Centers will support U.S. and international institutions to jointly plan exploratory and developmental studies of traditional/alternative healing approaches. The Planning Grants will lay the groundwork for developing applications for an International Center for Research on CAM that will be called for in 2004.

The National Cancer Institute is encouraging applications from partnering Institutions that focus on testing novel or conceptually creative ideas that may produce innovative advances in the understanding and use of CAM in cancer.

The National Cancer Institute is interested in basic, mechanistic, and preclinical research as it relates to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer as well as management of cancer symptoms and side effects due to conventional cancer treatment. Areas of interest include interactions between conventional cancer treatment and CAM modalities.

Title:   Centers of Excellence in Cancer Communications Research
RFA:   CA-01-019   http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-CA-01-019.html
Letter of Intent:   June 14, 2001
Receipt Date:   July 11, 2001
Description:   The RFA uses the P50 centers award mechanism to invite applications for Centers of Excellence in Cancer Communications Research (CECCRs). To be effective, the Centers’ research should integrate cancer communications appropriately into one or more contexts of the cancer continuum--from prevention through treatment to survivorship and end-of-life research. Communications research also is needed about challenging topics such as cancer information seeking, decision making under uncertainty, and genetic testing.
