Innovative Research in Cancer Nanotechnology (IRCN; R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
This grant provides funding for researchers at U.S. institutions to explore innovative uses of nanotechnology in cancer research, focusing on improving targeted delivery and diagnostic capabilities for specific cancer types.
Through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) encourages applications promoting transformative discoveries in cancer biology and/or oncology through the use of nanotechnology. Proposed projects should address major barriers in cancer biology and/or oncology using nanotechnology and should emphasize mechanistic studies toward fundamental understanding of nanomaterial and/or nanodevice interactions with biological systems. These studies should be performed in context of research concerning the delivery of nanoparticles and/or nano-devices to desired and intended cancer targets in vivo and/or characterization of detection and diagnostic devices in vitro. IRCN awards are expected to produce fundamental knowledge to aid future and more informed development of nanotechnology-based cancer interventions. The clinical translation of these interventions is outside of the scope of this NOFO.
