Opportunity Summary:
The Feasibility Studies to Build Collaborative Partnerships in Cancer Research (P20) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR 14-152) is a National Institutes of Health program designed to help launch and organize structured partnerships between institutions that serve communities experiencing cancer health disparities and NCI-designated Cancer Centers (or cancer centers with highly integrated cancer research programs). The core idea is to provide early, planning-stage support so the two sides can build a practical, working collaboration that is focused, productive, and positioned to compete for larger research funding later. Rather than being a large-scale research award right away, this P20 mechanism is meant to help partners align priorities, set up joint infrastructure and activities, and generate the early results and momentum needed to sustain a longer-term collaboration.
The FOA emphasizes three intertwined areas of collaboration: cancer-related research, training and career development, and education. A central goal is to support investigators at both the disparity-serving institutions and the partnering cancer centers as they run cancer-focused pilot projects and implement training and educational programs. These pilots are expected to produce preliminary data and proof-of-concept outcomes that can be used to support subsequent, competitive grant applications to NIH/NCI and also to other federal or non-federal funders. In practice, this means applicants are expected to use the planning grant period to define research directions that are feasible and relevant, identify shared resources and complementary expertise, and create a pipeline for developing investigators and strengthening institutional capacity.
This opportunity falls under the discretionary grant category and uses the P20 planning grant mechanism. The activity categories listed include Education and Health, and it is associated with CFDA 93.398 (Cancer Research Manpower), reflecting its workforce development and capacity-building orientation in addition to research planning. The program does not require cost sharing or matching, which lowers the barrier to participation for institutions that may have limited discretionary resources.
Funding details in the source data indicate an award ceiling of $275,000. The announcement was posted on March 10, 2014, with an original and current closing date of March 19, 2015, and an archive date of April 19, 2015, meaning it was a time-limited opportunity during that period rather than an open-ended solicitation.
Eligibility is broad and is structured to accommodate the kinds of organizations that commonly serve underserved populations and/or are positioned to form community-relevant cancer research collaborations. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (both with and without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, independent school districts, special district governments, city/township governments, county governments, state governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized, among others. The FOA also explicitly includes Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, eligible federal agencies, regional organizations, and U.S. territories or possessions. At the same time, the announcement is clear that non-U.S. (foreign) institutions are not eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible, and foreign components (as defined by NIH policy) are not allowed, keeping the work and supported collaboration fully domestic.
Overall, PAR 14-152 is best understood as a capacity-building and partnership-forming grant that uses small, focused pilots and structured training/education efforts to help disparity-serving institutions and NCI-designated cancer centers build durable, productive collaborations. The expected payoff is not only better-connected teams and stronger shared research programs, but also tangible pilot data, trained investigators, and well-developed project concepts that can translate into competitive applications for larger NIH/NCI awards and other funding streams. For full official requirements and application instructions, the FOA directs applicants to the NIH posting at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-14-152.html and provides NIH Office of Extramural Research contact support for access or linking issues (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the Feasibility Studies to Build Collaborative Partnerships in Cancer Research (P20) opportunity?
It is an NIH funding opportunity (PAR 14-152) that supports early-stage, planning-focused work to launch and organize structured partnerships in cancer research. The aim is to help institutions that serve communities experiencing cancer health disparities collaborate with NCI-designated Cancer Centers (or cancer centers with highly integrated cancer research programs).
What is the main purpose of this P20 planning grant?
The purpose is to provide planning-stage support so partners can build a practical, working collaboration that is focused, productive, and positioned to compete for larger research funding later. It is intended to help partners align priorities, establish joint infrastructure and activities, and generate early results that support longer-term collaboration.
Is this meant to fund a large, full-scale research program right away?
No. This P20 mechanism is described as a planning grant rather than a large-scale research award. It is intended to support organizing the partnership, running cancer-focused pilot projects, and implementing training and educational activities that produce preliminary outcomes for future funding applications.
Who is this program designed to bring together?
The program is designed to bring together (1) institutions serving communities experiencing cancer health disparities and (2) NCI-designated Cancer Centers or cancer centers with highly integrated cancer research programs, to create structured and durable collaborative partnerships.
