Decision Making in Cancer: Single-Event Decisions (R01)

archived

-Purpose. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite applications for research projects that will enhance understanding of human decision-making processes so that individuals can make more informed and satisfying choices regarding their health. The NCI encourages collaborations between researchers studying the processes of basic judgment and decision-making and researchers conducting cancer control investigations that will elucidate single-event decision-making processes, at the level of either the individual patient or health care provider. These decision-making processes are pertinent to cancer prevention, detection, treatment, survivorship, or end-of-life care. For the purpose of this initiative, a single-event decision is defined as a discrete decision made at a specific point in time. -Mechanism of Support. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) will utilize the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) award mechanism and runs in parallel with an FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-08-064, which solicits applications under the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Grant (R21) mechanism. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications. -Eligible Institutions/Organizations. Public/State Controlled Institutions of Higher Education; Private Institutions of Higher Education; Nonprofit with 501(c)(3) IRS Status (Other than Institutions of Higher Education); Nonprofit without 501(c)(3) IRS Status (Other than Institutions of Higher Education); Small Businesses; For-Profit Organizations (Other than Small Business); State Governments; U.S. Territories or Possessions; Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Organizations); Regional Organizations; Eligible Agencies of the Federal government; and Community based organizations.
