The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is announcing the availability of administrative supplemental funds for NCI-funded cancer center grantees (P30s) (domestic only). The primary purpose of this initiative is to provide matching funds to assist in the acquisition of dedicated clinical research imaging equipment, or significant upgrades to existing clinical research imaging equipment (software and/or hardware), in order to optimize the use of imaging as a biomarker in Phase 1 and 2 oncologic trials. The initiative is part of a continuing effort to stimulate and strengthen the use of imaging techniques in cancer research. NCI-funded cancer centers possess the infrastructure, organization, leadership, and integrated multidisciplinary research objectives that enable them to build and incorporate new image technologies into cancer clinical trials.
