Opportunity Listing - Innovative Molecular and Cellular Analysis Technologies for Basic and Clinical Cancer Research (R61 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

There has been a lapse in appropriated federal funds as of October 1, 2025. Grants.gov and Simpler.Grants.gov will still be available, but service may be delayed with reduced Federal support staff presence.

For those programs affected by the funding lapse, the Grants.gov and Simpler.Grants.gov systems will accept and store applications until such time as the responsible awarding agency has the authority and funding to return to normal business operations.

Description

Through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) solicits grant applications proposing exploratory research projects focused on the early-stage development of highly innovative technologies offering novel molecular or cellular analysis capabilities for basic or clinical cancer research. The emphasis of this NOFO is on supporting the development of novel capabilities involving a high degree of technical innovation for targeting, probing, or assessing molecular and cellular features of cancer biology. Technologies proposed for development may be intended to have...

widespread applicability but must be focused on improving molecular and/or cellular characterizations of cancer biology. Well-suited applications must offer the potential to accelerate and/or enhance research in the areas of cancer biology, early detection and screening, clinical diagnosis, treatment, control, or epidemiology, and/or address issues associated with cancer health disparities. This funding opportunity is part of a broader NCI-sponsored Innovative Molecular Analysis Technologies (IMAT) Program.
