Description
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) invites applications for transformative research in cancer biology and oncology using nanotechnology. Projects should focus on overcoming major barriers in cancer biology through mechanistic studies of nanomaterial and nanodevice interactions with biological systems. Research should involve delivery of nanoparticles or nanodevices to cancer targets in vivo or characterization of detection and diagnostic devices in vitro. The goal is to generate fundamental knowledge to support future nanotechnology-based cancer interventions, excluding clinical translation.
