Opportunity Summary:
Feasibility Studies to Build Collaborative Partnerships in Cancer Research (P20) is a National Cancer Institute (NCI) funding opportunity (PAR-13-068) that supports the early-stage development of structured, research-focused partnerships between two main types of organizations: (1) institutions that serve communities experiencing cancer health disparities (these can be academic or other organizations rooted in underserved populations), and (2) NCI-designated Cancer Centers (or groups of Centers). The central idea is to create intentional, well-organized collaborations that help disparity-serving institutions build stronger cancer research capacity while also connecting them directly to the expertise, infrastructure, and mentoring environments of established Cancer Centers.
The award is designed to fund both the planning and the initial execution of these collaborations. It emphasizes building a workable partnership framework (how the partners will govern the collaboration, share resources, coordinate activities, and sustain the relationship) while also supporting pilot projects and pilot programs led by investigators across the partner institutions. These pilot efforts can span cancer-related research as well as connected activities in training, career development, and education, with an overall focus on generating momentum and producing tangible early outcomes rather than funding large, mature research programs right away.
A major purpose of the P20 mechanism in this program is to help investigators at the disparity-serving institutions generate preliminary data and experience that position them to compete successfully for larger, peer-reviewed research funding. In practice, that means the pilots supported under this FOA are expected to be feasible, focused, and strategically chosen to lead to competitive subsequent grant submissions to NIH/NCI and/or other federal or non-federal funders. The intent is capacity building with a clear next step: pilots should not end as one-off projects, but should serve as launching pads for future, independently funded cancer research and related career development efforts.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) through NCI, and it falls under health and education-related funding activity categories. It is associated with multiple cancer-focused CFDA program areas, including cancer cause and prevention, detection and diagnosis, treatment, biology, cancer centers support, and cancer control. The announcement explicitly states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which can reduce financial barriers for applicants that may have limited discretionary funds.
Eligibility is broad across U.S.-based public and private organizations and various levels of government, including state, county, municipal, special district, and tribal governments, as well as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status). The FOA also highlights a number of institution types commonly associated with serving underserved or health-disparity populations as eligible, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), among others. At the same time, the announcement makes clear that non-U.S. entities are not eligible, and foreign components are not allowed under NIH policy for this FOA.
Key dates in the record show it was posted December 21, 2012, with an original closing date of March 19, 2015, and it later moved into archived status (archive date February 16, 2014).

Are large, mature research programs the focus of this funding?
No. The emphasis is on early-stage collaboration building and feasible, focused pilots that generate momentum and position teams for subsequent, independently competed funding, rather than supporting large, mature research programs right away.
What is the expected outcome of the pilot projects and programs?
Pilots are expected to be strategically chosen to produce preliminary data and experience that help investigators, particularly at disparity-serving institutions, compete successfully for larger, peer-reviewed research funding (NIH/NCI and/or other federal or non-federal funders).
Does the FOA expect pilot projects to continue beyond the P20 period?
The intent is that pilot efforts should not end as one-off projects. They are intended to serve as launching pads for future, independently funded cancer research and related career development efforts.
What is the role of the disparity-serving institution in this collaboration?
A major purpose described is capacity building at disparity-serving institutions, including helping their investigators gain preliminary data and experience and strengthening cancer research capacity through direct connection to Cancer Center expertise, infrastructure, and mentoring environments.
What is the role of the NCI-designated Cancer Center in this collaboration?
