National Cancer Institute (NCI) Cancer Education and Career Development Program (R25)

archived

-This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) represents the continuation of the Cancer Education and Career Development Program (CECDP) established by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The purpose of the CECDP is to support the development and implementation of institutional curriculum-dependent predoctoral/postdoctoral programs with specific core didactic and research requirements to train a cadre of scientists in interdisciplinary and collaborative cancer research settings. Examples of interdisciplinary/collaborative areas of cancer research that are particularly applicable to intent of the CECDP are cancer prevention and control, behavioral and population sciences, nutrition, imaging, and molecular diagnosis. This FOA makes an NCI-specific use of the NIH Education R25 grant mechanism. -Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. -Each Program involves a Program Leader (i.e., principal investigator or PI), faculty, and a permanent multidisciplinary Advisory Committee representing all the disciplines and institutions involved in the Program. The PI may receive salary support for leadership, management, coordination and evaluation of the Program. Research and salary support may also be provided to faculty critical to the design, development, implementation and refinement of the specialized curriculum essential to the training and didactic needs of the Program.
