Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA CA 18 024
This opportunity (RFA-CA-18-024) is a National Institutes of Health funding announcement from the National Cancer Institute that supports administrative revisions to existing, active NCI-funded P50 awards. In practical terms, it is not a stand-alone grant for new centers or brand-new P50 programs; it is meant for research teams that already hold an NCI P50 (Specialized Center) grant and want to add a clearly defined expansion to one of the currently funded projects under that parent award. The proposed work must be structured as additional specific aims that extend the scope of an individual, already-supported project within the P50, rather than replacing the original work or creating an unrelated new program.
The scientific focus is tightly centered on the NCI Provocative Questions (PQs). Applicants are expected to propose research that aligns with one of the 12 PQ topics that were highlighted for new investigator-initiated applications under RFA-CA-18-019 (R01) and RFA-CA-18-020 (R21). The intent is to push research toward particularly challenging or high-impact questions in cancer biology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment that the NCI has identified as priorities. Beyond simply addressing a PQ, the announcement explicitly encourages projects that help validate outcomes emerging from prior PQ-related research, as well as projects aimed at adopting, translating, disseminating, or otherwise implementing PQ-generated findings in ways that measurably influence cancer research and clinical care. Clinical trials are optional under this FOA, meaning applicants may propose a clinical trial if it is appropriate to the added aims, but a clinical trial is not required.
From an eligibility standpoint, the opportunity is broadly open to many U.S.-based organization types that typically apply for NIH grants, including state and county governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small businesses. The FOA also highlights that several categories of minority-serving institutions are included among eligible applicants, such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs). At the same time, the announcement makes clear that non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities are not eligible to apply, and non-domestic components of U.S. organizations are not eligible either. However, foreign components, as defined under the NIH Grants Policy Statement, are allowed, which typically means a U.S. applicant organization may include a foreign collaboration component when it is well-justified and compliant with NIH policy.
Key administrative details included in the source information are that the funding instrument is a grant, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary, and it falls under education and health-related funding activity categories. The listed CFDA numbers associated with NCI programs include 93.393, 93.394, 93.395, 93.396, and 93.399. The FOA was created on April 3, 2018, with an original closing date of October 30, 2018. The listed award ceiling is $150,000, indicating the revision request is intended to be a relatively targeted add-on to an existing P50 budget rather than a major expansion on the scale of an entirely new center award.Apply for RFA CA 18 024
