The Comprehensive Minority Biomedical Branch (CMBB), Office of 
Centers, Training and Resources, Office of the Deputy Director 
for Extramural Science, National Cancer Institute wishes to 
announce that the ELIGIBILITY section of the Guidelines for 
Minority Supplements to the NCI Institutional Clinical Oncology 
Research Career Development Award Program (K12) have been 
modified as follows:

"For CMBB purposes, a person is an underrepresented minority if 
he or she belongs to a particular ethnic and racial group that 
has been determined by the grantee institution to be 
underrepresented in cancer-related biomedical, behavioral, 
clinical or social science research.  Underrepresented 
individuals are not limited to racial and ethnic minorities but 
can also include individuals, as selected by the institution, as 
underrepresented as cancer research, e.g. first generation 
college graduates, the economically disadvantaged, etc."

The modified Guidelines for Minority Supplements to NCI 
Institutional Clinical Oncology Research Career Development Award 
Program (K12) are now available on the CMBB website:  
http://minorityopportunities.nci.nih.gov.  

The NCI invites NCI-supported Cancer Centers to participate in 
the Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (CURE) Program by 
submitting administrative supplements for placing promising 
underrepresented clinicians in cancer research settings.
