Activities To Promote Research Collaborations (APRC) FY2008 |
---|
FY2008 Guidelines and Information for Applicants (Revised 1/24/2008 - supercedes all previous versions) PURPOSEThe Division of Cancer Biology (DCB) of the
National Cancer Institute (NCI) announces for the Federal fiscal year of 2008
the opportunity for grantees to seek supplemental funding for existing
DCB-funded research projects to support and encourage multidisciplinary scientific collaboration among DCB grantees, as
well as with other members of the scientific community. This initiative known as the Activities to
Promote Research Collaborations (APRC) can support novel collaborative activities in cancer biology that
bring together new ideas and approaches from disparate scientific disciplines. The proposed APRC activities should be within
the overall scope of the active parent DCB grant. The APRC Program is anticipated to be highly
competitive with limited funding; only a few supplements will be awarded. Before submission, all grantees must
call their DCB Program Director to discuss the planned collaboration and application. This document describes the:
(1) purpose, (2) background, (3) the administrative mechanism available to
promote research collaborations under this program, (4) eligibility
requirements, (5) review considerations and criteria, (6) application
procedures, (7) post-award requirements, (8) application deadline, (9) mailing
address, and (10) contact information for inquiries. |
