Purpose

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) will hold public pre-application webinars for Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) associated with the upcoming Human Tumor Atlas Network (HTAN):

RFA-CA-17-034 "Human Tumor Atlas Research Centers (U2C)";
RFA-CA-17-035 "PreCancer Atlas Research Centers (U2C)"; and
RFA-CA-17-036 "Human Tumor Atlas Network Data Coordinating Center (U24)".

The goal of the HTAN is the construction of human tumor atlases that describe the multidimensional cellular, morphological, and molecular mapping of human cancers over time for informing future cancer research and, ultimately, clinical decision-making. NCI staff members involved in the HTAN initiative will provide orientation and technical assistance to potential applicants by explaining the goals and objectives of the HTAN and answering questions from attendees about the various HTAN funding opportunities.

Separate pre-application webinars will be held for each HTAN FOA. Informational slides and a recording of each webinar will be available on the Beau Biden Cancer Moonshot website. Potential applicants are encouraged to submit their questions in advance of the webinars to the appropriate FOA-specific email address listed below.
