Opportunity Summary:
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Cancer Education and Career Development Program (CECDP) (R25) is a discretionary NIH grant opportunity designed to help institutions build and run structured, curriculum-based education and training programs focused on cancer-related fields. Its central aim is to strengthen the pipeline of researchers and professionals by supporting predoctoral and postdoctoral education programs in cancer prevention and control, behavioral and population sciences research, nutrition, epidemiology, and biostatistics. In practical terms, the grant is meant to fund the development and implementation of formal training experiences, often including coursework, mentored research education, career development activities, and other organized learning components that are tied to an institutional curriculum rather than ad hoc or individually arranged training.
This opportunity uses the NIH Research Education (R25) mechanism, which is specifically intended to support educational programs that complement traditional research training and research project grants. Under this mechanism, the focus is not on funding a specific research study, but on creating or enhancing an education program that prepares participants for cancer-focused careers. A key administrative point is that R25 research education programs generally cannot be transferred from one institution to another unless there is a strong justification, reflecting NIH expectations that these programs are closely tied to the applicant institution's environment, faculty, and infrastructure.
Award sizes and project periods are not fixed because NCI expects proposed programs to differ widely in scope, design, and resource needs. As a result, both the number of awards and total funding levels are dependent on what is submitted and how applications score, including factors such as program quality, proposed duration, and requested costs. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers barriers for institutions that want to propose robust training programs but may not have additional funds to commit as a formal match.
Eligibility is broad and includes private and public institutions of higher education as well as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status. The announcement also explicitly includes several categories of institutions that often serve populations underrepresented in biomedical research, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions. This eligibility structure aligns with the general NIH interest in expanding and diversifying the cancer research workforce through well-designed training environments.
Administrative details from the listing identify the opportunity as PAR 10-165, categorized under education and health, with CFDA number 93.398 (Cancer Research Manpower). The opportunity was posted April 12, 2010, with later record creation noted April 22, 2013, and it lists an original closing date of May 7, 2013, a current closing date of September 7, 2013, and an archive date of October 7, 2013. Applicants are directed to the full FOA text hosted by NIH for complete requirements, and NIH provides contact support through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster for access or linking issues.
