Administrative Supplements to Promote Cancer Prevention and Control Research in Low and Middle Income Countries (Admin Supp)

archived

The National Cancer Institute (NCI), through its Center for Global Health (CGH), seeks to promote cancer prevention and control (CPC) research in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) through collaborations and research partnerships between the NCI-designated cancer centers and institutions in LMICs. This administrative supplement uses the World Bank's definition of LMIC. Through this funding opportunity announcement (FOA), the NCI will provide administrative supplement awards to currently-funded P30 NCI-designated cancer center grantees to support pilot research plans that focus on cancer prevention and control. The overarching purpose of these supplements is to stimulate and strengthen CPC research programs between researchers at the NCI-designated cancer centers and institutions in LMICs. It is anticipated that outcomes of this supplement will include collaborative research grants between investigators at the NCI-designated cancer centers and LMIC institutions. The applications should address questions that represent the needs of all stakeholders including the investigators, local Ministries or departments, and community members, so that the activity has a direct, local benefit. It is expected that the findings from these collaborations could improve cancer prevention and control strategies both in the US and abroad.
