November 7, 2025 (estimated, forecasted)

Not yet specified; cooperative agreement (U01 mechanism), details to be announced in full FOA

Supports cancer control research using simulation modeling to inform public health priorities across the cancer continuum.

This is a forecasted opportunity; applications are not yet being accepted.

--- ## Description The National Cancer Institute (NCI) intends to release a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Modeling Network (CISNET) using the U01 cooperative agreement mechanism. The primary goal of CISNET is to leverage simulation modeling to synthesize and extend evidence from clinical trials, epidemiological studies, and surveillance data, ultimately guiding public health research and policy decisions related to cancer prevention, screening, treatment, and survivorship. The program encourages collaborative research that brings together expertise in decision modeling, statistics, health economics, epidemiology, computer science, medicine, and public health. This advance notice is intended to give researchers and institutions time to develop partnerships and prepare responsive, impactful projects. --- ## Due Dates - Estimated application due date: November 7, 2025 *All dates are projected based on the annual cycle; check the program page for updates.* --- ## Funding Amount - Award amounts and total program funding have not yet been specified. - The funding mechanism will be a U01 cooperative agreement. - Details on the number of awards, award ceiling, and project duration will be announced in the forthcoming full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). --- ## Eligibility Eligible applicants include: - State governments - County governments - Independent school districts - Public and State controlled institutions of higher education - Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized) - Public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities - Native American tribal organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments) - Nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions) - Private institutions of higher education - For-profit organizations (including small businesses) --- ## Application Process - This is a forecasted opportunity; applications are not currently being accepted. - The official FOA will be published at a later date, providing detailed instructions and application materials. - Interested investigators are encouraged to begin planning and forming collaborations in anticipation of the announcement. --- ## Additional Information - Clinical trials are not allowed under this opportunity. - The focus is on comparative simulation modeling for cancer control. - Multidisciplinary and collaborative projects are especially encouraged. --- ## External Links - [CISNET Forecast Opportunity on Grants.gov](https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/359729) - [NIH Home Page](https://www.nih.gov/) - [National Cancer Institute](https://www.cancer.gov/) --- ## Contact Information | Name | Role/Organization | Email | Phone | |-------------------|--------------------------|--------------------------------------|--------------| | Natasha Stout, Ph.D. | National Cancer Institute (NCI) | [natasha.stout@nih.gov](mailto:natasha.stout@nih.gov) | 240-478-8909 |
