ACTIVITIES TO PROMOTE RESEARCH COLLABORATIONS RELEASE DATE: November 13, 2002 NOTICE: NOT-CA-03-002 National Cancer Institute (NCI) (http://www.nci.nih.gov/) The Division of Cancer Biology (DCB) of the National Cancer Institute announces an eligibility change in the Activities to Promote Research Collaboration (APRC) supplement program previously published as NOT-CA- 02-028. NCI-funded Phase II SBIR and Phase II STTR grantees are now eligible to apply for funding under the APRC program. SBIR/STTR grantees may participate as either the leader of a consortium, if funded by NCI through DCB, or as a participant in a consortium headed by another DCB grantee. As stated in the Eligibility Requirements section of the APRC Guidelines, participants in a consortium, except for the lead institution, need not be funded by DCB. All eligibility requirements and budget and administrative limits will apply to any consortia that include NCI-funded SBIR/STTR grantees. Proposals for workshops would not be appropriate from SBIR/STTR grantees. SBIR/STTR grantees will be expected to comply with the limitations on outsourcing. A full description of the APRC program and the guidelines can be found at the URL: http://www.nci.nih.gov/dcb/APRC2003.htm. It details the opportunities available to DCB grantees for collaborative activities funded with administrative supplements to their active grants and the mechanisms for requesting these supplements. Requests for APRC supplemental support will be accepted 2 times this year: December 16th and April 15th. Requests must be submitted as described on the web site. INQUIRIES Investigators funded by NCI through DCB who are interested in the activities described here are highly encouraged to contact their DCB Program Director prior to submitting an application.
