ACTIVITIES TO PROMOTE RESEARCH COLLABORATIONS RELEASE DATE: September 25, 2002 NOTICE: NOT-CA-02-028 National Cancer Institute (NCI) (http://www.nci.nih.gov) The Division of Cancer Biology (DCB) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) announces for Fiscal Year 2003 the availability of funds to supplement existing DCB-supported research projects to support and encourage scientific collaboration among DCB grantees, as well as with other members of the scientific community. This effort, known as the Activities to Promote Research Collaborations (APRC) program, can support collaborative activities that bring together ideas and approaches from disparate scientific disciplines, including those not currently supported by DCB. Examples of collaborative activities include, but are not limited to, initiating new collaborative research projects, sharing resources and reagents, developing novel technologies, and organizing cross-disciplinary meetings/workshops. It is essential, however, that proposed APRC activities be within the overall scope of the active parent award. A full description of the APRC program and the guidelines can be found at the following web site: http://www.nci.nih.gov/dcb/APRC2003.htm. It details the opportunities available to DCB grantees for collaborative activities funded with administrative supplements to their active grants and the mechanisms for requesting these supplements. Requests for APRC supplemental support will be accepted 2 times this year; December 16th and April 15th. Requests must be submitted as described on the web site. INQUIRIES Investigators funded by DCB who are interested in the activities described here are highly encouraged to contact their DCB Program Director prior to submitting an application. For further information, contact: John Sogn, Ph.D. Deputy Director, Division of Cancer Biology National Cancer Institute, NIH, Executive Plaza North, Room 5050 6130 Executive Boulevard Bethesda, MD 20892-7150 Telephone: (301) 594-8782 FAX: (301) 496-8656 E-mail: js150x@nih.gov
