Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Revisions for Early Stage Development of Informatics Technology (P01)" (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-13-330), was issued by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the National Cancer Institute (NCI) as part of NCI's Informatics Technology for Cancer Research (ITCR) Initiative. It is a discretionary grant mechanism using the P01 Program Project format, and it specifically invites revision applications (previously referred to as competing revisions) from projects that are already funded as NCI P01 program projects. In other words, this is not aimed at brand-new P01 applicants; it is meant for existing NCI P01 awardees who want to expand or redirect part of their current, funded work through a formally reviewed revision request.
The core purpose of the FOA is to support early stage development of enabling informatics technologies that strengthen how cancer research data and knowledge are acquired, managed, analyzed, and shared. The emphasis is on technology development that can move the field forward by creating new computational or informatics capabilities, rather than simply applying existing tools. NCI is positioning this opportunity to encourage genuinely interdisciplinary work, bringing together expertise across cancer research, computational science, informatics, and related domains to build innovative methods and platforms that help accelerate discovery and improve translation of research findings into usable knowledge and, ultimately, clinical practice.
A key boundary in the announcement is that proposals focused only on data processing and analysis, or only on mathematical or statistical modeling, are not considered appropriate if they do not include the development of new enabling informatics technology. That exclusion is important because it clarifies the program's intent: reviewers and program staff are looking for advances that produce novel informatics tools, software, platforms, or approaches that change what researchers can do, not just analyses performed with current techniques.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted on August 12, 2013, and had a final closing date of June 18, 2015, with an archive date of July 19, 2015. The award ceiling listed is $150,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.396 (Cancer Biology Research), reflecting its alignment with cancer research priorities.
Eligibility is broad in terms of institution types, covering many domestic U.S. organizations and government entities, including state governments, county and city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits), small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The eligibility list also explicitly includes a range of mission-focused and community-anchored institutions 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, as well as faith-based or community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies. However, non-U.S. (foreign) institutions and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible to apply directly, although "foreign components" (as defined in NIH policy) are allowed, which typically means certain project elements may occur outside the U.S. if justified and permitted under NIH rules.
