RAPID ACCESS TO INTERVENTION DEVELOPMENT (RAID) RELEASE DATE: November 14, 2002 NOTICE: NOT-CA-03-003 National Cancer Institute (NCI) (http://www.nci.nih.gov/) The NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE is requesting applications for the following initiative: Rapid Access to Intervention Development (RAID). RAID will make available to academic investigators, on a competitive basis, the preclinical development contract resources of NCI's Developmental Therapeutics Program. RAID is not a grant program to originating investigators. The goal of RAID is the rapid movement of novel molecules and concepts from the laboratory to the clinic for proof-of-principle clinical trials, using NCI's contract research mechanisms. RAID will assist investigators who submit successful applications by providing any (or all) of the preclinical development steps that may be obstacles to clinical translation. These may include, for example, production, bulk supply, GMP manufacturing, formulation and toxicology. Suitable agents for RAID will include small molecules, biologics or vaccines. There are two receipt dates for requests for RAID support per year, February 1 and August 1. Current requests must be received by February 1, 2003, with all materials submitted directly to the office listed below. For information on process and procedure of requests for RAID resources, visit the DTP web site http://dtp.nci.nih.gov/. Inquiries are encouraged, the opportunity to clarify issues or questions is welcome. Academic investigators may have collaborations with small-business partners and still qualify for RAID funding. Non-profit organizations other than universities may also submit RAID applications. Please note that a maximum of two distinct requests for support per investigator can be submitted for each receipt date.
