Description
This NIH Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) seeks cooperative‑agreement (U24) applications to sustain high‑impact informatics tools and resources that serve the cancer research continuum. Applicants must demonstrate that their technology has already made a significant contribution to cancer biology, treatment, diagnosis, early detection, risk assessment, prevention, control, or epidemiology, and present a robust plan for continued operation, user support, documentation, training, and community engagement. The award will fund two projects, with a total estimated funding pool of $1.8 million; individual awards range from $50,000 to $600,000. The effort is intended to maintain and evolve existing, widely‑adopted informatics platforms, ensuring they remain scientifically relevant and responsive to emerging research needs.
• Targeted at organizations that currently operate or plan to operate cancer‑focused informatics resources.
• Funding mechanism: U24 Cooperative Agreement (Health, discretionary).
• Estimated total funding $1.8 M; up to two awards (≈ $50 K–$600 K each).
