EQUIPMENT FOR EXISTING AND DEVELOPING NCI CANCER CENTERS NIH GUIDE, Volume 23, Number 5, February 4, 1994 P.T. 34 Keywords: INSTRUMENTS/INSTRUMENTATION/DEVICE National Cancer Institute The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is issuing a "letter" Request for Applications (RFA) to institutions that have been awarded Cancer Center Support Grants (CCSGs or P30s) or Cancer Center Planning Grants (P20s) to provide important equipment and instrumentation needs in cancer research. The awards are in the form of one-time supplements with no outyear commitments. Equipment requested should be for items not generally considered to be "portable" and/or generally not available through the traditional research grant mechanisms (e.g., R01s, P01s). These types of equipment normally require dedicated space; serve as a resource for several peer-reviewed, funded research projects; and are centrally managed by the cancer center. Requests can be for a single piece of equipment, an upgrade to a piece of equipment or an existing facility, or several pieces of equipment that are components of an integrated setup. Up to $2 million in total costs will be committed to fund applications that are submitted in response to the "letter" RFA. Institutions with P30s will be limited to one request and are required to provide matching funds of 50 percent of the costs of the equipment. Institutions with P20s will be limited to two requests and are encouraged to provide matching funds of 50 percent of the costs of the equipment. Requests broadly related to breast cancer, prostate cancer, or other areas designated as areas of "high priority" research would be especially welcome; however, applications need not be limited to these cancers. INQUIRIES The receipt date for applications is March 1, 1994 and awards are anticipated before September 30, 1994. A copy of the complete "letter" RFA may be requested from: Ms. Anna Levy Division of Cancer Biology, Diagnosis and Centers National Cancer Institute Executive Plaza North, Room 502 Bethesda, MD 20892 Telephone: (301) 496-8537 .
