Not yet specified; award ceiling and floor to be announced in the official FOA.

Supports advanced development and dissemination of emerging informatics technologies to enhance cancer research and management across the cancer research continuum.

This is a forecasted opportunity; final details will be available in the published FOA.

--- ## Description The National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the NIH, intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) inviting applications for the advanced development and enhancement of emerging informatics technologies to support cancer research and management. This initiative, under the Informatics Technology for Cancer Research (ITCR) Program, seeks to improve the acquisition, analysis, visualization, and interpretation of data spanning cancer biology, diagnosis, treatment, early detection, risk assessment, prevention, control, epidemiology, and health disparities. The focus is on technologies that: - Have moved beyond initial prototyping/pilot stages. - Demonstrate significant potential for broader impact in cancer research. - Require further improvement and have not yet seen widespread adoption. Funded projects should emphasize: - Uniqueness and potential impact on cancer research. - Clear rationale for the technology's necessity and benefit. - Mechanisms for ongoing feedback from cancer research projects and the broader user community. - Engagement, outreach, and training to advance technology adoption. - Realistic timelines and milestones for development. Applications are not being accepted at this time; this advance notice allows researchers time to build collaborations and develop responsive projects. --- ## Due Dates - Estimated Application Due Date: November 21, 2025 _All dates are projected based on the annual cycle; check the program page for updates._ --- ## Funding Amount - Award ceiling and floor have not yet been specified; details will be provided in the forthcoming FOA. - Estimated total program funding is not yet announced. - Funding instrument: Cooperative Agreement (U24 activity code). --- ## 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) - Native American tribal organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments) - Public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities - Nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) - Private institutions of higher education - For-profit organizations (including small businesses) --- ## Application Process - This is a forecasted opportunity; applications are not being accepted yet. - The official FOA with full instructions will be published in the coming months (estimated post date: August 29, 2025). - Potential applicants are encouraged to begin preparing collaborations and project concepts in advance. --- ## Additional Information - The opportunity is part of NCI’s [Informatics Technology for Cancer Research (ITCR) Program](http://itcr.cancer.gov/). - Projects must have a clear strategy for end-user engagement, community feedback, and technology dissemination. - No cost sharing or matching is required. --- ## External Links - [Grants.gov Listing](https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/359855) - [NCI ITCR Program](http://itcr.cancer.gov/) --- ## Contact Information | Name | Email | Phone | Affiliation | |----------------|------------------------------------|--------------|----------------------------| | Juli Klemm, PhD| [juli.klemm@nih.gov](mailto:juli.klemm@nih.gov) | 202-853-7889 | National Cancer Institute |
