Decision Making in Cancer Single Event Decisions (R01) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Decision Making in Cancer Single Event Decisions (R01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PA 08 063) is a National Institutes of Health grant announcement focused on improving how people make important, one-time health decisions in the cancer context. The central goal is to support research that deepens understanding of human judgment and decision-making so that patients and health care providers can make choices that are better informed and ultimately more satisfying. The National Cancer Institute is especially interested in projects that connect basic decision science (how people weigh risks, interpret information, respond to uncertainty, use heuristics, or experience biases) with real-world cancer control challenges, where the stakes are high and the decisions often must be made under emotional stress and time pressure.

A key feature of this announcement is its emphasis on "single event decisions," defined here as discrete decisions made at a specific point in time, rather than ongoing behavior change or repeated choices. In practical terms, this can include decisions tied to cancer prevention (for example, whether to get a vaccine or take a preventive medication), detection and screening (whether to undergo a specific screening test), treatment (choosing among treatment options with different risks and benefits), survivorship (decisions about follow-up care or managing long-term effects), and end-of-life care (choices about palliative care, hospice, or advance directives). The announcement supports work aimed at either the individual patient level or the health care provider level, recognizing that provider decisions and recommendations also strongly shape what ultimately happens in clinical care.

The funding mechanism is the NIH Research Project Grant (R01), which is typically used for more developed, hypothesis-driven projects that can be carried out at a full research-project scale. The announcement notes that it runs in parallel with a separate, scientifically identical solicitation using the R21 mechanism (PA 08 064), which is generally intended for earlier-stage, exploratory, or developmental studies. In other words, applicants with a mature research plan and stronger preliminary foundation would generally align with the R01 route, while more preliminary concepts might fit the companion R21.

Funding under this FOA is described as contingent on available funds and on the submission of a sufficient number of high-quality, meritorious applications, which is standard language indicating there is not a guaranteed number of awards. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.

Eligibility is broad and inclusive. The FOA allows applications from public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private higher education institutions, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they otherwise meet eligibility requirements), small businesses, other for-profit organizations that are not small businesses, state governments, local governments (including county and city/township governments), special district governments, independent school districts, U.S. territories and possessions, and regional organizations. It also explicitly includes community-based and faith-based organizations, eligible federal agencies, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations. Importantly, foreign institutions (non-U.S. entities) are eligible to apply, which opens the door to international collaborations and studies conducted outside the United States when they are scientifically justified.

Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant in the health and education activity areas, with CFDA numbers listed as 93.361 (Nursing Research) and 93.399 (Cancer Control). The announcement was posted January 10, 2008, and the original and current closing date listed is January 7, 2011, with an archive date of February 7, 2011, indicating the FOA is now historical rather than active. The full announcement was hosted on the NIH grants website (grants.nih.gov) under the PA 08 063 listing, and the NIH Office of Extramural Research webmaster contact was provided for access or linking issues.
