ACTIVITIES TO PROMOTE RESEARCH COLLABORATIONS Release Date: February 1, 2000 NOTICE: CA-00-007 National Cancer Institute To support and encourage scientific collaboration among National Cancer Institute (NCI) grantees as well as with other members of the scientific community, the Division of Cancer Biology (DCB) of the NCI announces the availability of two administrative mechanisms to facilitate such interactions under a program entitled Activities to Promote Research Collaborations (APRC). A full description of this program can be accessed at the following website: http://www.nci.nih.gov/dcb/colabbrf.htm#resclab. It details the opportunities available to DCB grantees for collaborative activities through administrative supplements to their active grants and the mechanisms for requesting such supplements. Collaborative activities that can be supported are those that bring together ideas and approaches from disparate scientific disciplines, including those not currently supported by DCB. Examples of collaborative activities include, but are not limited to, initiating novel research projects, sharing resources and reagents, developing novel technologies, and organizing cross-disciplinary meetings/workshops. It is essential, however, that proposed APRC activities be within the overall scope of the parent award. Requests for APRC supplemental support will be accepted 2 times each year; December 15th and April 15th. Requests must be submitted as described on the web site. INQUIRIES Investigators funded by DCB who are interested in the activities described here are encouraged to contact their DCB program director. Other interested investigators may direct their inquiries to: John Sogn, Ph.D. Deputy Director (Acting) Division of Cancer Biology National Cancer Institute, NIH, DHHS Executive Plaza North, Room 500 6130 Executive Boulevard Bethesda, MD 20892-7150 Telephone: (301) 496-7815 FAX: (301) 496-8656 E-mail: js150x@nih.gov
