Objective of Project:

Nanotechnology broadens in an unprecedented way the opportunities to study normal and cancer cells and collect (often in real time) relevant information on cancer emergence and progression at the molecular and cellular levels. The NCI regards nanotechnology as one of the critically important innovative tools in attempts to reduce the burden of cancer. To facilitate these attempts, the NCI implements a program to train a cadre of researchers who would be competent in applying the tools and approaches of nanotechnology to critical problems in cancer research and clinical oncology while working as members of multidisciplinary teams.

Description of Project:

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is designed to support the training of individuals from the basic, biomedical, clinical, and information sciences and engineering who are pursuing research on nanotechnology tools and/or applications for the prevention, detection, diagnosis, or treatment of cancer.

This FOA solicits applications from recent doctoral level graduates for postdoctoral fellowships (F32) as well as applications from candidates with at least seven years of research experience beyond the doctorate and established independent research positions for senior fellowships (F33).
