Molecular Imaging of Inflammation in Cancer (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

National Institutes of HealthCloses Jan 7, 2028(451 days left)Up to $500,000

Does this fit your business?

This is an NIH R01 research grant for teams developing and using molecular imaging methods to study inflammation in cancer in living systems, with a required collaboration between cancer scientists and imaging scientists. It is for research organizations, not companies selling products or services; if you are not doing cancer or imaging research, do not bother applying.

Best for
Cancer research labs, Imaging scientists and imaging labs, Universities and research institutions, Biotech small businesses doing imaging R&D
Not for
Businesses outside cancer or imaging research, Foreign or non-U.S. entities, Organizations looking for funding for anything other than research

Questions about this grant

When is the application deadline?
Applications are due January 7, 2028.
How much funding can an applicant receive?
The largest single award is $500,000, and total program funding is listed at $500,000. No other award amounts are published.
Who can apply for this grant?
Eligible applicants include small businesses, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, nonprofits (with and without 501(c)(3) status), public and private institutions of higher education, state, local, county, city and special district governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities, and Native American tribal governments and organizations. Foreign entities and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible.
Can a sole proprietor or single-member LLC apply?
The facts do not say. The eligibility list names small businesses and for-profit organizations generally, but it does not specifically address sole proprietors or single-member LLCs, so that is not published here.
Can a nonprofit apply?
Yes. Nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) are both listed as eligible applicants.

Summary

NIH R01 research grants to develop and use molecular imaging methods to study inflammation in cancer in vivo. Eligible applicants include small businesses, for-profit organizations, nonprofits, universities, state/local/tribal governments, and federal agencies; foreign entities are not eligible. Funds support collaborative research between cancer scientists and imaging scientists.

About this grant

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to invite research grant applications (R01) for the development and use of current and emerging molecular imaging methods to gain fundamental insights into cancer inflammation in vivo. The motivation for this initiative is that much of current imaging research into the role of inflammation in cancer is largely based on in vitro and ex vivo methods with limited utilization of imaging approaches that could lead to significant new insights relevant to dynamic cancer and inflammation interactions. Utilization of molecular imaging probes in pre-clinical and clinical investigations for precise temporal resolution at the molecular and cellular level are valuable approaches for identification and characterization of in vivo inflammatory cellular physiology in cancers and of molecular changes in response to treatment. This FOA encourages applications that focus on developing integrated imaging approaches to interrogate the role of inflammation in cancer through strong cross-field collaboration between cancer basic science researchers and imaging scientists. These collaborations are expected to advance science and understanding of cancer inflammation interactions.

Who can apply

Other Eligible Applicants include the following:

Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions; Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISISs); Eligible Agencies of the Federal Government; Faith-based or Community-based Organizations; Hispanic-serving Institutions; Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs); Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Other than Federally Recognized); Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Organizations); Regional Organizations; Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs) ; U.S. Territory or Possession; Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Organizations) are not eligible to apply.

Non-domestic (non-U.S.) components of U.S. Organizations are not eligible to apply.
