ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPLEMENT REQUEST FOR EQUIPMENT IN SUPPORT OF STUDIES ON TUMOR HOST INTERACTIONS RELEASE DATE: April 2, 2003 NOTICE: NOT-CA-03-018 National Cancer Institute (NCI) (http://www.nci.nih.gov) The National Cancer Institute (NCI) invites NCI-funded investigators to submit equipment requests that will advance the understanding of the molecular and cellular underpinnings of tumor-host interactions. The supplemental program will support equipment in the area of sample preparation, microscopy, and molecular and cellular imaging. Requests for associated software needed for informatics and data analysis for imaging studies can also be included. Studies involving such equipment should help in identifying novel interactions between normal and/or tumor cells with host stroma and eventually have a translational impact. In addition to a strong scientific basis, requests that are accompanied with the relevant documents indicating (i) multi-user involvement, and (ii) cost-sharing by the applicant's organization will be viewed favorably. Applicant institutions will be expected to support the personnel and other costs associated with the maintenance of equipment. Equipment requests associated with microarray analysis or proteomics are outside the scope of this initiative and will not be considered. A full description of the supplement request program and the guidelines can be found at the URL: http://dcb.nci.nih.gov/supreqnot321.cfm. Requests must be submitted as described on the website and will be accepted till June 16, 2003. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS NCI-funded research grantees may submit and be the PI of a supplemental request. The PI must have an active R01, R37, P01, U01, Phased Innovation Award (combined R21/R33), or a SPORE grant (P50) with at least 2 years remaining at the time of anticipated funding date of September 1, 2003 (i.e., the grants must be active until August 31, 2005). Collaborating investigators must have active research funding support from NIH or other funding agencies. INQUIRIES NCI-funded research grantees who are interested in applying for an supplement request are encouraged to contact: Suresh Mohla, Ph.D. Chief, Tumor Biology & Metastasis Branch Division of Cancer Biology National Cancer Institute 6130 Executive Blvd, EPN 5038 Rockville, MD 20892 301 435-1878 FAX: 301 480-0864 mohlas@mail.nih.gov
