Opportunity Summary:
The NCI Small Grants Program for Cancer Research (NCI Omnibus R03) is a National Institutes of Health funding opportunity from the National Cancer Institute designed to support small, focused cancer research projects that can be completed relatively quickly and with limited resources. It uses the NIH R03 mechanism, which is commonly suited for early stage, exploratory, or narrowly scoped work where the goal is to generate initial findings, test an idea, or produce practical deliverables that can inform larger future studies. The emphasis is on projects that are manageable in size and scope rather than large, multi-year efforts requiring substantial infrastructure.
This opportunity is intended to fund several kinds of research activities. Typical projects include pilot and feasibility studies that help determine whether a research approach is workable, secondary analyses of existing datasets where new questions are answered using already collected information, and small self-contained research projects with clear, discrete objectives. It also supports development of research methodology, meaning the creation or refinement of tools, approaches, measures, analytic strategies, or protocols that improve how cancer research is conducted. In addition, it can fund development of new research technology, such as early prototypes or proofs-of-concept that may later be expanded or validated through larger grant mechanisms. The overall topic area is cancer research broadly, spanning prevention and causes, detection and diagnosis, treatment, biology, and control, as reflected by the listed CFDA programs (93.393, 93.394, 93.395, 93.396, and 93.399).
From an administrative standpoint, the announcement is identified as PAR-14-007 and falls under the discretionary grant category. The award ceiling is listed as $50,000, indicating the program is structured around modest budgets appropriate for small projects rather than major clinical trials or large research centers. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations. Academic institutions are eligible, including both public/state-controlled and private institutions of higher education, as well as independent school districts in appropriate cases. Government entities such as state governments, county governments, and city or township governments can apply, along with special district governments and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. The program is also open to nonprofits, including 501(c)(3) organizations and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), and it allows applications from for-profit organizations, including small businesses and other for-profit entities that are not classified as small businesses. Tribal eligibility is explicitly included, covering federally recognized Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations that are not federally recognized.
The FOA also highlights additional eligible applicants and participation pathways, including a range of designated-serving institutions and community-based entities. This includes 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). Faith-based and community-based organizations may apply, as can eligible federal agencies. Importantly, the program allows non-U.S. participation: foreign organizations and foreign institutions are eligible to apply, non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are eligible, and foreign components are permitted as defined under NIH policy, supporting international collaboration or research conducted outside the United States when scientifically justified.
Key dates show that the FOA was posted and created on November 21, 2013, with a closing date of January 5, 2017, and an archive date of February 5, 2017. That means the specific announcement PAR-14-007 is no longer active, but it provides a clear picture of how NCI’s omnibus R03 program is structured and what it aims to fund.
