Updates from the National Cancer Institute | ||
NCI has identified additional funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) from within NCI’s extensive funding portfolio that are aligned with the goals of the Cancer Moonshot. These, in addition to the FOAs that were identified in December, 2016, mark the beginning of a growing Cancer Moonshot portfolio. Planning for implementation of longer-term Cancer Moonshot-related scientific initiatives and associated funding opportunities is also underway. Learn more about these FOAs. |
Cancer Moonshot℠ – Funding Opportunities
The 21st Century Cures Act was signed into law in December 2016, and authorizes $1.8 billion over 7 years to fund the Beau Biden Cancer Moonshot. This additional funding enables NCI to accelerate research initiatives aligned with the Cancer Moonshot and to build upon ongoing efforts in advancing cancer research.
Following receipt of the Blue Ribbon Panel report, NCI identified funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) from within its extensive research portfolio that aligned with the goals of the Cancer Moonshot and that could be leveraged with existing funds. We posted those FOAs here to simplify the process of searching for funding opportunities to support Cancer Moonshot-related research. These opportunities mark the beginning of a growing Cancer Moonshot portfolio.
Planning for implementation of longer-term scientific initiatives is also underway. We have established implementation teams aligned with the BRP recommendations. The teams include NCI extramural and intramural scientists, and experts from several other NIH institutes and centers. Team members are considering multiple ways to fund the best science, including grants, supplements, and other mechanisms, and, where appropriate, to form partnerships with foundations, academia, and the private sector. We look forward to engaging our extramural colleagues in this process.
We will continue to update this page as new funding opportunities become available. Please check back often or sign up to receive automatic email updates for these announcements and other Cancer Moonshot-related activities.
