National Cancer Institute (NCI) (http://cancer.gov/)

The Division of Cancer Biology (DCB) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) announces the availability of funds in Fiscal Year 2008 for administrative supplements to ongoing DCB-funded research projects. These administrative supplements are intended to encourage and support new multidisciplinary scientific collaborations among DCB grantees, as well as with other members of the scientific community.  This initiative, known as the Activities to Promote Research Collaborations (APRC), supports collaborative interdisciplinary activities that bring together ideas and approaches from disparate scientific disciplines.  To be eligible for the APRC administrative supplements, the proposed collaborative activity must be new and must remain within the overall scope of the active “parent” award.

A full description of the APRC program and the FY08 guidelines can be found at the following web site: http://dcb.nci.nih.gov/newsdetail.cfm?ID=34.  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.
