About this opportunity
The National Cancer Institute is forecasting publication of a Notice of Funding Opportunity for the Paul Calabresi Career Development Award in Clinical Oncology (K12), a grant supporting institutional research career development programs that train clinical scientists in cancer research. Eligible applicants include higher education institutions (public and private), state and county governments, independent school districts, tribal governments and organizations, nonprofits, small businesses, and for-profit organizations. Scholar candidates must hold full-time appointments at the applicant institution or a partnering institution. The program requires each institution to have at least two oncology specialties represented among faculty and Scholar appointees, with each Scholar assigned two mentors—one clinician conducting patient-oriented research and one basic science cancer researcher. Scholar support runs for a minimum of two years and a maximum of three years of consecutive 12-month appointments, contingent on satisfactory progress toward independent academic careers. Award budgets may cover salary support for program directors/principal investigators and Scholars, research and development costs, and administrative expenses. Applicants must specify the number of Scholar appointments proposed for each year. The program expects institutions to leverage their unique strengths in designated oncology specialties and incorporate cutting-edge research and technology advancements into career development curricula. All applications undergo scientific merit review by peer panels and the National Cancer Advisory Board, with approximately ten-month review timelines. The award falls under CFDA 93.398 (Cancer Research Manpower) administered by the National Institutes of Health within the Department of Health and Human Services.
Forecast synopsis
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), the Paul Calabresi Career Development Award for Clinical Oncology (K12). The NOFO will invite applications for institutional research career development programs to support the training of clinical scientists in cancer research. The purpose of the Paul Calabresi Career Development Award for Clinical Oncology, is to increase the number of clinician-scientists trained in clinical and translational cancer research, promote their career development, and prepare them to be effective scientific partners with basic research scientists.
NCI Calabresi K12 programs are required to have at least two oncology specialties represented among the included faculty and the pool of K12 appointees (Scholars). The programs are expected to leverage the institution's unique strengths in these oncology specialties and to incorporate the latest research and technology advancements in designing cutting-edge career development curricula. And the programs must establish individualized career development plans to accommodate Scholars with different levels of prior research training/experience and assign two mentors, a clinician conducting patient-oriented research and a basic science cancer researcher, to each Scholar.
The award budgets may include salary support for the PD(s)/PI(s) and Scholars, research and development support, and administrative support costs. The application must clearly indicate the number of Scholar appointments proposed for each year. Candidates must have a full-time appointment at the applicant institution or a partnering institution. Scholar support is provided for a minimum of two years and a maximum of three years of consecutive funding for each scholar, consisting of 12-month appointments, provided their progress towards an independent academic career is on track and satisfactory. The program will allow the appointment of Scholars proposing to serve as the lead investigator of an independent clinical trial; or proposing a separate ancillary study to an existing trial; or proposing to gain research experience in a clinical trial led by another investigator as part of their research and career development.
