Supports the sustained operations and continued development of widely-used informatics technologies that advance cancer research across the continuum.

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

--- ## Description This upcoming funding opportunity from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the NIH, will support the continued operation and scientific advancement of established informatics technologies that have demonstrated significant impact in cancer research. The focus is on sustaining and evolving resources that facilitate data acquisition, management, analysis, and dissemination across diverse areas such as cancer biology, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, epidemiology, and health disparities. The program is a component of the Informatics Technology for Cancer Research (ITCR) initiative and is distinct from early-stage or advanced development funding. Applicants will need to show evidence of their resource’s impact, present a clear sustainment plan, and outline robust strategies for community engagement, user support, and ongoing relevance to the research community. This forecast is provided to give potential applicants time to develop collaborations and prepare 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 - Funding details, including total program funding, award ceiling, and duration, are not yet specified. - The opportunity will use the U24 Cooperative Agreement mechanism. - Specifics will be announced in the final Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). --- ## 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 at this time. - The final NOFO will provide detailed instructions and requirements. - Investigators are encouraged to begin developing collaborations and project plans now to be ready when the opportunity opens. --- ## Additional Information - The program emphasizes the sustainment of informatics resources with proven impact on cancer research. - Applications must include: - Evidence of significant impact to date - A robust plan for user support (documentation, training, outreach) - Clear processes for engaging end users and addressing emerging research needs --- ## External Links - [Opportunity Forecast on Grants.gov](https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/359853) - [ITCR Program Overview](https://itcr.cancer.gov/) - [NIH Main Website](https://www.nih.gov/) --- ## Contact Information | Name | Email | Phone | Affiliation | |-----------------|-------------------------------|---------------|------------------------------| | Juli Klemm, PhD | [juli.klemm@gmail.com](mailto:juli.klemm@gmail.com) | 202-853-7889 | National Cancer Institute |
