AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Other Eligible Applicants include the following:  Eligible Agencies of the Federal Government; Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Organizations); Regional Organizations; U.S. Territory or Possession.
Description: Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), invites the submission of applications in developmental and formative behavioral research in cancer prevention and control. This FOA will support innovative pilot projects or feasibility studies, which will facilitate the growth of research science in the cancer control continuum from a behavioral perspective. This FOA includes and incorporates the research interests of the Behavioral Research program, the Office of Cancer Survivorship, and the Community Oncology and Prevention Trials Research Group. This FOA is appropriate for testing timely interventions in pilot studies for feasibility or using rigorous qualitative research methods to assess the potential efficacy of an intervention. It is also appropriate for the psychometric evaluation of new measures or culturally appropriate ones to be adapted for use in populations where measures have not yet been developed or validated. This FOA encourages applications that include small cross-disciplinary teams of investigators who bring perspectives from the behavioral and social sciences, as well as other fields of public health. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will use the NIH Exploratory/Developmental (R21) grant mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism, numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received.
