Forecast synopsis

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) intends to support a new initiative, the Targeting Fusion Oncoproteins in Childhood Cancers (TFCC) Network, for the purpose of identifying and developing novel treatment strategies for childhood cancer fusion oncoproteins. The TFCC will have two components: (1) UM1 Next Generation Chemistry Centers (NGC) for Fusion Oncoproteins, which will focus on combining innovative chemical biology technologies and chemoproteomic approaches to target fusion-driven cancers; and (2) U01 research projects focused on molecular mechanisms by which fusion oncoproteins drive pediatric cancers with the goals of identifying potential drug targets and understanding their mechanistic underpinnings on disease formation. This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to establish meaningful collaborations for U01 research projects and develop a responsive grant application. The NOFO is expected to be published in Summer 2023 with an expected application due date in late Fall 2023. Details of a planned pre-application webinar will be announced after the publication of the NOFO. To find out more about the program, potential applicants are encouraged to view the presentation on establishing a Targeting Fusion Oncoproteins in Childhood Cancers Network at the NIH Videocast Past Events (https://videocast.nih.gov/watch=49366) beginning at 2 hours, 36 minutes, and 40 seconds into the meeting. The slides included in the presentation are downloadable at https://deainfo.nci.nih.gov/advisory/bsa/0323/Smith.pdf.
