This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), entitled "Toward Translation of Nanotechnology Cancer Interventions" (TTNCI), encourages applications for advanced pre-clinical research, supporting translation of nanotechnology-based cancer diagnostics and therapeutics.
TTNCI awards are
designed to mature experimental nanomedicines relying on nanoparticles and nano-devices which demonstrate strong potential to improve cancer treatment effectiveness due to the combination of nanoparticle/nano-device structural design and/or therapeutic/diagnostic cargo which is delivered.
TTNCI awards are expected to enable further development of proposed nanotechnology-based interventions to the stage in which they could continue on a developmental path towards the NCI Experimental Therapeutics (NExT) and other NCI translational programs.
