The NCI invites applications from extramural investigators for Small Animal Imaging Resources (SAIRs). These grants will support: (a) shared imaging resources to be used by cancer investigators; (b) research related to small animal imaging technology or methodology; and (c) training of both professional and technical support personnel interested in the science and techniques of small animal imaging. Small Animal Imaging Resources (SAIRs) will enhance capabilities for conducting basic, translational, and clinical cancer research relevant to the mission of the NCI. Major goals of this initiative are to increase efficiency, synergy, and innovation of such research and to foster research interactions that cross disciplines, approaches, and levels of analysis. Building and strengthening such links holds great potential for better understanding cancer, and ultimately, for better treatment and prevention. The application implements the new multiple-PI policy.
