Early-Stage Innovative Technology Development for Cancer Research Program

by: TopGovernmentGrants Editorial Staff

The National Institutes of Health, otherwise known as the NIH, is an agency operating within the United States Department of Health and Human Services that is primarily responsible for pursuing and financially supporting most of the country's biomedical and health-related research.

The programs and initiatives of the NIH are designed to contribute to the achievement of its primary agency mission which is to "seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce the burdens of illness and disability."

In accordance with this mission, the National Institutes of Health has collaborated with the National Cancer Institute(NCI) in order to establish Early-Stage Innovative Technology Development for Cancer Research Program, wherein both agencies intend to solicit grant applications expressing intents to conduct funded exploratory research projects that concentrate on the inception and development unique, innovative technological advances that could potentially be utilized in the study of cancer.

The research studies that are covered under this program could also focus on emerging technology, which means includes the kind of technologies that have just been started or discovered, and have not yet been tested or evaluated. In this regard, the NIH and NCI wants the applicants and investigators to explore this technologies, with the goal of potentially making them better and more efficient.
