Description: Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), encourages research grant applications from institutions/organizations on the discovery and characterization of non-coding (nc) RNAs in preneoplasias and early stage cancers to: 1) improve early cancer detection, intervention, and prevention; 2) predict risk of progression from preneoplasia to cancer, and 3) distinguish benign lesions from precancerous lesions. Mechanism of Support. This FOA uses the NIH research project R01 grant mechanism and runs in parallel with an FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-09-200 that encourages applications under the NIH Exploratory/Developmental (R21) Grant mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability
