Comprehensive Minority Institution/Cancer Center Partnership (Limited Competition U54)

Purpose.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) solicits cooperative agreement (U54) linked award applications for the implementation of Comprehensive Minority Institution/Cancer Center Partnerships (MI/CCPs) between Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) and NCI-designated Cancer Centers (or groups

of Centers).

The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to foster and support intensive collaborations among MSIs and the cancer centers in order to develop stronger national cancer programs aimed at understanding the reasons behind the significant cancer disparities and related impacts on racial and ethnic minority and socio-economically disadvantaged populations.

This FOA is a limited competition solicitation intended for:
(a) extending the support under the U54 mechanism for the best of the currently funded MI/CCPs; and (b) elevating to the full MI/CCP status the best partnerships currently in the planning/developing phase (supported by U56 awards under Cooperative Planning Grant for Comprehensive Minority Institution/ Cancer Center Partnership).
