The reproducibility and comparability of research on dietary supplements is enhanced by rigorous analytical characterization of key experimental materials and the publication of validated analytical methods that accurately and precisely characterized and quantify constituents in dietary supplement ingredients and products. This FOA builds on existing NIH awards to support the performance and publication of formal single-laboratory validation studies of quantitative analytical methods. The methods proposed for validation must be used to identify and quantify dietary supplement-relevant chemical constituents (i.e., active or marker chemical compounds, adulterants, contaminants) or their metabolites in experimental reagents, raw materials, and/or clinical specimens (e.g., urine or plasma samples). Methods must have been developed or utilized in fulfillment of the active parent grant's specific aims. Candidate constituents for quantitative method validation studies include (but are not limited to): phytochemicals, nutrients, and potentially deleterious substances such as pesticides and mycotoxins. Multi-laboratory validation studies will not be supported through this FOA.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI), through its Center for Global Health (CGH), seeks to promote cancer prevention and control (CPC) research in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) through collaborations and research partnerships between the NCI-designated cancer centers and partner institutions in LMICs. Through this funding opportunity announcement (FOA), the NCI will provide administrative supplement awards to currently-funded P30 NCI-designated cancer center grantees to support pilot research plans that focus on cancer prevention and control. These supplements are designed to stimulate and strengthen CPC twinning programs between researchers at the NCI-designated cancer centers and institutions in LMICs. It is anticipated that outcomes of this supplement will include collaborative research grants between investigators at the NCI-designated cancer centers and LMIC institutions.

This Administrative Supplement funding opportunity announcement is part of the Cancer Moonshot initiative to accelerate cancer research, and was developed in response to a recommendation from the Blue Ribbon Panel of experts charged with advising the National Cancer Advisory Board on the exceptional scientific opportunities that could be accelerated through this initiative. Based on the recommendation to intensify research and form highly dynamic and collaborative networks of investigators to advance our understanding of fusion oncoproteins as drivers of childhood cancers, this FOA supports supplemental funds to current NCI-funded research projects for new interdisciplinary collaborations to perform research within the scientific scope of the parent grant that will lead to better understanding of the mechanisms of action of fusion oncoproteins as drivers of childhood sarcomas, brain cancers, and high risk leukemias.

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to incentivize collaborative, multidisciplinary research across a broad area of challenging topics in basic cancer biology. These supplement applications must propose a collaboration between at least two researchers, one being the PI of the parent NCI grant. Awarded supplements will leverage and extend currently funded cancer research in the parent grant.

The Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), in partnership with the NCI Office of Cancer Centers (OCC), announces this opportunity to compete for administrative supplements to Cancer Center Support Grants (CCSGs; P30s) for NCI-designated Cancer Centers (CCs) to each recruit a Community Health Educator (CHE). The purpose of this administrative supplement funding opportunity is to support a strengthening of community outreach capacity by working through the National Outreach Network (NON). It is expected that NON CHEs, located at NCI-designated CCs, will enhance the development and dissemination of culturally appropriate, evidence-based cancer information to members of underserved communities including rural and racial/ethnic populations (e.g., African American/Black, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Hispanic/Latino, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander) in a way that is tailored to their specific needs.

The purpose of this trans-NCI Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to promote new cancer disparities research among investigators who do not normally conduct it and to encourage the partnership of experienced cancer research investigators with cancer disparities-focused researchers. This FOA is intended to accelerate and strengthen multi-disciplinary cancer disparities research in wide-ranging areas. Cancer disparities research includes, but is not limited to basic, translational, behavioral, observational, interventional, environmental and population research studies that address the adverse differences in cancer incidence, prevalence, mortality, survivorship, burden and/or response to treatment in racial/ethnic minorities and/or underserved population groups. Proposed collaborations should focus on achieving research objectives that by necessity rely on diverse and complementary expertise, technical capabilities, and resource sets. Importantly, the supplemental proposal is required to be within the scope of the parent award and should expand the original aims to include a cancer disparity component.
