Through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) invites applications for projects to expand, improve, or transform the utility of mammalian cancer and tumor models for translational research. With this NOFO, the NCI intends to encourage submission of projects devoted to demonstrating that mammalian models or their derivatives used for translational research are robust representations of human biology, are appropriate to test questions of clinical importance, and provide reliable information for patients' benefit. These practical goals contrast with the goals of many mechanistic, NCI-supported R01 projects that employ mammals, or develop and use mammalian cancer models, transplantation tumor models, or models derived from mammalian or human tissues or cells for hypothesis-testing, non-clinical research. Among many other possible endeavors, applicants in response to this FOA could propose demonstrations of how to overcome translational deficiencies of mammalian oncology models, define new uses of mammalian models or their genetics for unexplored translational challenges, advance standard practices for use of translational models, test approaches to validate and credential models, or challenge current practices for how models are used translationally

This notice announces the opportunity to apply for funding under the Technology-enabled Collaborative Learning Program (TCLP). The purpose of this program is to improve retention of health care providers and increase access to health care services, such as those to address chronic diseases and conditions (including Alzheimers disease), infectious diseases, mental health and substance use disorders, prenatal and maternal health, pediatric care, pain management, palliative care, and other specialty care in rural areas, frontier areas, health professional shortage areas, or medically underserved areas and for medically underserved populations or Native Americans. Recipients will evaluate, develop, and, as appropriate, expand the use of technology-enabled collaborative learning and capacity building models. In this NOFO, the term "technology-enabled collaborative learning and capacity building model" means a distance health education model that connects health care professionals, and particularly specialists, with multiple other health care professionals through simultaneous interactive videoconferencing for the purpose of facilitating case-based learning, disseminating best practices, and evaluating outcomes. This cooperative agreement aligns with HRSAs goals of promoting a health care workforce to address current and emerging needs, improving access to quality health services, achieving health equity, and enhancing population health. The development and acquisition of instructional programming by the TCLP will increase access to quality care using telehealth and innovative technology solutions. The TCLP will also provide training for health care providers and other professionals that provide or assist in the provision of services, including training on best practices for data collection and evaluation activities to study the impact on patient outcomes and health care providers.
