National Cancer Institute Program Project (P01) Applications | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), issued this funding opportunity announcement to support investigator-initiated Program Project Grants (P01). The main idea is to fund coordinated, multi-project research programs that tackle important cancer-related questions under a shared scientific umbrella. Applicants can propose work in essentially any major area of cancer research, including cancer biology, treatment, detection and diagnosis, prevention, and cancer control. The announcement is intentionally broad and welcomes basic laboratory research, translational studies that move discoveries toward clinical use, clinical research involving patients, and population-based studies that examine cancer patterns, risk factors, interventions, and outcomes in communities.

A key structural requirement is that each P01 application must include at least three component research projects. These projects are not meant to be separate, unrelated studies; they must be connected by a common central theme, focus, and/or overall objective. In other words, reviewers will expect the proposed projects to reinforce each other scientifically, creating a combined program that is stronger and more impactful than the same projects funded independently. This is the defining feature of the P01 mechanism: it supports team-based science organized around a unifying goal, rather than a single-investigator, single-project approach.

The mechanism of support is the NIH Program Project (P01) grant. Funding decisions and the number of awards are not guaranteed; awards depend on the availability of appropriated funds and on whether enough high-quality, meritorious applications are received. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary grant funding and is aligned with multiple NIH cancer-related CFDA numbers, reflecting the wide range of research topics it can cover (including causes and prevention, detection and diagnosis, treatment, biology, and control). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, meaning applicants are not required to provide matching funds as a condition of eligibility.

Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that commonly participate in biomedical research. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including those with 501(c)(3) status and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and state governments. The eligibility language also extends to additional entities such as eligible federal agencies, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and units of local government. This breadth is consistent with NIH practice and is meant to ensure that a wide range of capable research institutions and organizations can compete.

Administratively, the opportunity is identified as PAR-09-025, posted on November 12, 2008, with an original and current closing date of January 4, 2012, and an archive date of February 4, 2012. The full announcement was made available through the NIH grants guidance site. For technical issues accessing the announcement or problems with links, the listed point of contact is the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster at FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV.
