Supplements Offered for Dissemination of Cancer-Related Surveillance
Research
Our Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS) is
sponsoring administrative supplements for dissemination of cancer-related
surveillance research. Current National Cancer Institute (NCI) awardees
of R01, P01, P50, U01, and U19 grants pertaining to cancer control
are eligible to apply provided the conditions listed below are met.
The application deadline is April 1, 2008.
The conditions are:
- The topic area of the original cancer control award must be related
to the focus of the surveillance research/surveillance data analysis
that is being proposed in the supplement request (for example,
if the parent grant focuses on physical activity, the supplement
should focus on the dissemination of surveillance data on physical
activity);
- The proposed surveillance dissemination effort must
clearly be beyond the scope of the “parent” award;
- The “parent” award must remain active during the entire funding period of this supplement; and
- The Principal Investigator (PI) for the supplement must be the
PI of the “parent” award.
Diverse aspects of cancer control might be appropriate for dissemination
efforts under these supplements (for example, cancer risk factors,
screening, cancer rates, treatment, and outcomes). Specific areas
include, but are not limited to:
- tobacco use;
- diet and physical activity patterns;
- sun exposure and ultraviolet radiation exposure;
- use of chemopreventive agents;
- use of genetic testing for cancer susceptibility;
- use of screening for breast, cervix, and colorectal cancers;
- cancer rates, morbidity, and mortality;
- cancer treatment and patterns of care; and
- cancer outcomes.
The goals of these supplements are to:
- Fund innovative dissemination of surveillance research results
to increase application of these results in policy, practice, and
communities across the cancer continuum;
- Encourage surveillance researchers to develop and test ways
to expand use of their data;
- Encourage researchers and program planners in other areas, such
as communication and intervention research, to consider ways to
use surveillance data in their research or programs; and
- Encourage transdisciplinary collaborations between researchers
in surveillance and other areas, such as communications and interventions.
NCI intends to commit about $200,000 in FY 2008 to fund about
two (2) administrative supplements in response to this initiative.
Budget requests must not exceed $100,000 in total costs for a funding
period not to exceed 12 months.
Access the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts Notice (NOT-CA-08-008),
for Frequently Asked Questions, and detailed instructions on applying.
Requests for these administrative supplements must be submitted
to DCCPS by the April 1 due date. Note that the National Institutes
of Health’s
(NIH) Center for Scientific Review (CSR) is not involved in receipt
and processing of these requests.
