Description
This upcoming funding opportunity from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the NIH, will support the early-stage development of enabling informatics technologies for cancer research and management. The program is part of the Informatics Technology for Cancer Research (ITCR) initiative and targets projects that improve the acquisition, management, analysis, and dissemination of cancer-related data and knowledge. Projects should focus on initial tool development or significant modification of existing tools for new applications, with a strong rationale for their need and benefit to cancer research. Emphasis is placed on innovation, user engagement, and potential impact across the cancer research continuum, including cancer biology, treatment, diagnosis, early detection, risk assessment, prevention, control, epidemiology, and addressing cancer health disparities.
