NOTICE OF LIMITED COMPETITION INTEGRATING CANCER AND AGING RESEARCH IN NCI-DESIGNATED CANCER CENTERS Release Date: September 20, 2002 NOTICE: NOT-CA-02-027 National Cancer Institute (NCI) (http://www3.cancer.gov/orientation/) National Institute on Aging (NIA) (http://www.nia.nih.gov/) The National Institute on Aging and the National Cancer Institute announces a limited competition for Planning Grants (P20s) for developing aging/cancer "Programs" (or equivalently effective models) that will become incorporated as stable components of Cancer Center Support Grants (CCSGs). This planning activity will be dedicated to fostering interactions and collaborations between basic, clinical and population scientists at the interface of cancer and aging research, creating a stable, peer-reviewed funded research base at this interface which meets the requirements of a "Program" by NCI CCSG Guidelines, and incorporating this "Program" into the CCSG as a stable inter- disciplinary activity of the Cancer Center. This planning and development effort will be regularly evaluated for progress by the standing "External Advisory Group" of the Cancer Center and will make heavy use of existing resources and infrastructure supported by the CCSG. NCI will contact all grantees holding CCSGs regarding the application procedures and format. INQUIRIES Inquiries are encouraged, and the opportunity to clarify issues and answer questions is welcome. Inquiries may be directed to: Patricia McCormick, Ph.D. Program Director Cancer Centers Branch National Cancer Institute Telephone: (301) 496-8531 FAX: (301) 402-0181 Email: pm60y@nih.gov Or Rosemary Yancik, Ph.D. Program Director Geriatrics Branch, Geriatrics and Clinical Gerontology Program National Institute on Aging Telephone: (301) 496-5278 FAX: (301) 402-1784 Email: yancikr@nia.nih.gov
