Eligible Applicants

Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)

Additional Information on Eligibility:

Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply.

Applications will only be accepted from MSIs (e.g., Historically Black Colleges and Universities [HBCUs], Hispanic-Serving Institutions [HSIs] and Tribal Institutions [e.g., Colleges]) either in the United States or in territories under U.S. jurisdiction, and from institutions that are NCI-designated Cancer Centers (or groups of centers) that wish to develop comprehensive partnerships.

MSIs are defined as institutions at which students of minority groups that are underrepresented in the biomedical sciences (e.g., African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Alaskan Natives, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders), comprise a significant proportion of the enrollments AND at which there have been documented records of commitment to the special encouragement of minority faculty, students, and investigators. A list of MSIs is available at http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/edlite-minorityinst.html. Both MSIs with medical schools and MSIs with more focused education and research programs (e.g., Masters and Ph.D. programs) are invited to participate in this initiative. MSIs that offer only baccalaureate degrees and Tribal Colleges are also invited to participate in this initiative as full collaborators, especially in the development of educational programs aimed at motivating students to enter careers in cancer research.

Agency Name

Description

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) invites planning grant applications (P20s) to help researchers and faculty at Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) in collaboration with the researchers and faculty of NCI-designated Cancer Centers (or other institutions with highly-organized, integrated research efforts focused on cancer) plan and implement focused collaborations in cancer research, cancer research training, or cancer education. The sole intent of this planning grant is to provide support for cancer projects and programs for a limited duration of time to perform feasibility studies and obtain preliminary data that will lead to the submission of specific competitive grant applications traditionally supported by the NCI and others.
