announcement (FOA), "the Institutions" will refer to academic or other organizations serving communitieswith cancer health disparities.
This FOA is designed to facilitate the planning and execution of focused collaborations in cancer-related research, training and career development, and education by supporting the creation of partnership frameworks and the conduct of pilot projects and pilot programs by investigators at the partnering institutions.
A major goal of the NCI P20 partnership awards is to provide support for investigators at the Institutions to conduct cancer pilot projects and programs, which should allow awardees to obtain preliminary data that will lead to their submission of competitive grant applications for support by the NIH/NCI and/or other Federal/non-Federal sources of peer-reviewed funding.
