Title: Sustained Support for Informatics Technologies for Cancer Research and Management (U24 Clinical Trial Optional) [RFA-CA-19-041]
Award: Application budgets are not limited but need to reflect the actual needs of the proposed project.
Link: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-CA-19-041.html
Applications are invited for the continued development and sustainment of high value informatics research resources to improve the acquisition, management, analysis, and dissemination of data and knowledge across the cancer research continuum including cancer biology, cancer treatment and diagnosis, early cancer detection, risk assessment and prevention, cancer control and epidemiology, and/or cancer health disparities. This FOA focuses on sustaining operations and improving the user experience and availability of existing, widely-adopted informatics tools and resources.

Title: Advanced Development of Informatics Technologies for Cancer Research and Management (U24 Clinical Trial Optional) [RFA-CA-19-040]
Award: $3,000,000
Link: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-CA-19-040.html
This FOA invites Cooperative Agreement (U24) applications for advanced development and enhancement of emerging informatics technologies to improve the acquisition, management, analysis, and dissemination of data and knowledge across the cancer research continuum including cancer biology, cancer treatment and diagnosis, early cancer detection, risk assessment and prevention, cancer control and epidemiology, and/or cancer health disparities. The focus is on emerging informatics technology, defined as one that has passed the initial prototyping and pilot development stage, has demonstrated potential to have a significant and broader impact, has compelling reasons for further improvement and enhancement, and has not been widely adopted in the cancer research field.

Title: Early-Stage Development of Informatics Technologies for Cancer Research and Management (U01 Clinical Trial Optional) [RFA-CA-19-039]
Award: $900,000
Link: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-CA-19-039.html
This FOA invites Cooperative Agreement (U01) applications for the development of enabling informatics technologies to improve the acquisition, management, analysis, and dissemination of data and knowledge across the cancer research continuum including cancer biology, cancer treatment and diagnosis, early cancer detection, risk assessment and prevention, cancer control and epidemiology, and/or cancer health disparities. This FOA focuses on early-stage development from prototyping to hardening and adaptation.

Title: Development of Innovative Informatics Methods and Algorithms for Cancer Research and Management (R21 Clinical Trial Optional) [RFA-CA-19-038]
Award: $275,000
Link: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-CA-19-035.html
This FOA encourages applications focused on the development of novel computational, mathematical, and statistical algorithms and methods that can considerably improve acquisition, management, analysis, and dissemination of relevant data and/or knowledge. In order to be successful, there must be a clear rationale for how the proposed informatics method or algorithm is novel and how it will benefit the cancer research field.

Title: Optimizing the Management and Outcomes for Cancer Survivors Transitioning to Follow-up Care (R01 Clinical Trial Required) [RFA-CA-19-035]
Award: $2,500,000
Link: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-CA-19-035.html
This FOA solicits applications that develop and test models of care for adult survivors of cancer who are transitioning from active treatment to follow-up care. Through this FOA, the NCI intends to support multi-level interventions that enhance communication, collaboration, and coordination among oncology and non-oncology providers to improve cancer survivor outcomes.
