National Institutes of HealthCloses Nov 15, 2027(398 days left)

Does this fit your business?

This is an NIH/NCI R01 research grant for advanced pre-clinical work on nanotechnology-based cancer diagnostics and therapeutics, aimed at moving experimental nanomedicines toward clinical development. It suits small biotech businesses, universities, and nonprofits with an existing nanoparticle cancer program; retail, finance, housing, or any organization without active nanotech cancer R&D should not bother applying.

Best for
Biotech and medtech small businesses with a nanotechnology cancer diagnostic or therapeutic in advanced pre-clinical (GL, Universities and academic cancer research labs moving nanomedicine candidates toward clinical translation, Nonprofits and research institutes running cancer-focused nanotech R&D, State, local, or tribal government-affiliated research entities working on nanotechnology cancer interventions
Not for
Businesses with no nanotechnology or cancer focus, Foreign or non-U.S. entities, Organizations seeking commercialization or clinical-trial funding rather than pre-clinical research

About this grant

Through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), entitled "Toward Translation of Nanotechnology Cancer Interventions" (TTNCI), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) encourages applications for advanced pre-clinical research, supporting translation of nanotechnology-based cancer diagnostics and therapeutics. TTNCI awards are designed to mature experimental nanomedicines relying on nanoparticles and nano-devices which demonstrate strong potential to improve cancer treatment effectiveness due to the combination of nanoparticle/nano-device structural design and/or therapeutic/diagnostic cargo which is delivered. TTNCI awards are expected to enable further development of proposed nanotechnology-based interventions to the stage in which they could continue on a developmental path towards the NCI Experimental Therapeutics (NExT) and other NCI translational programs.

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.
