Due Dates (Anticipated): November 2025 | October 2026
Funding Amounts: Estimated total program funding $1,800,000; typical awards $50,000–$600,000 per year (up to 2 awards expected).
Summary: Supports the sustained operation and evolution of widely adopted informatics tools and resources that have demonstrated impact across the cancer research continuum.
Key Information: This is a forecasted opportunity; dates and details are subject to change.
Description
This anticipated funding opportunity from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the NIH, will support the continued development, maintenance, and evolution of high-value informatics research resources that are broadly used in cancer research. The program aims to sustain widely adopted informatics tools and resources that have already demonstrated significant impact across cancer biology, treatment, diagnosis, early detection, risk assessment, prevention, control, epidemiology, or cancer health disparities.
The focus is on ensuring these resources remain relevant and useful to the research community by supporting operations, user engagement, documentation, training, and ongoing adaptation to emerging scientific needs. Applicants must clearly justify the continued need for their resource, describe its impact, and outline robust plans for community engagement and support.
