Physical and Engineering Sciences in Oncology
Page 2a) The development of novel non-traditional physical and engineering sciences based approaches, materials, or platforms to thoroughly comprehend cancer disorders.
b) The generation of unique sets of physical measurements that are capable of providing insight into molecular mechanisms of oncogenesis, metastasis, drug resistance or other aspects of cancer that could potentially lead to a more effective treatment of the disease.
c) The development and evaluation of theoretical approaches that would provide a comprehensive and dynamic understanding of cancer disorders.
The NSF estimates that it would award 5 to 10 grants to different applicants, with each grant amounting to $2,000,000 to $3,000,000.
The institutions and organizations that will be considered eligible to submit an application for the Physical and Engineering Sciences in Oncology Program are the following:
a) Universities and two- and four-year colleges including community colleges that are located in the United States
b) Non-profit, non-academic organizations such as Independent museums, observatories, research laboratories and professional societies
c) For-profit organizations
d) State, Local, City and Township Governments
e) Unaffiliated Individuals such as Scientists, engineers or educators
f) Foreign organizations
g) Other Federal agencies.

National Institutes of Health funds the Improving Adherence to Treatment Regimens for HIV-Positive Adolescents and Young Adults The National Institutes of Health has recently established a program entitled Improving Adherence to Treatment Regimens for HIV-Positive Adolescents and Young Adults wherein they intend to kick-off research studies that will create, implement, and evaluate both old and new interventions that are geared towards improving adherence to medical and behavioral regimens for HIV-positive adolescents which are 11 to 21 years old and adults who are 21 to 24 years old.
Early-Stage Innovative Technology Development for Cancer Research ProgramThe National Institutes of Health has collaborated with the National Cancer Institute(NCI) in order to establish Early-Stage Innovative Technology Development for Cancer Research Program, wherein both agencies intend to solicit grant applications expressing intents to conduct funded exploratory research projects that concentrate on the inception and development unique, innovative technological advances that could potentially be utilized in the study of cancer.
Capacity Building Assistance to Improve Health in Tribal Populations ProgramIn keeping with all its existing programs and objectives, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recently established a funding opportunity to promote the Capacity Building Assistance to Improve Health in Tribal Populations Program.
Exploratory/Developmental Grants Program for Basic Cancer Research in Cancer Health DisparitiesThe National Institutes of Health has recently formed a partnership with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in an effort to constitute the Exploratory/Developmental Grants Program for Basic Cancer Research in Cancer Health Disparities wherein both agencies intend to solicit grant application from various eligible researchers who are interested in conducing basic research studies regarding the biological causes and mechanisms of cancer health disparities.
