About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) seeks research proposals for the Metastasis Research Network (MetNet): MetNet Research Projects program, a Cooperative Agreement funding opportunity under the Cancer Biology Research program (CFDA 93.396). This initiative funds fundamental research using systems-level approaches to understand metastasis as a comprehensive, whole-body problem, examining non-linear, dynamic, and emergent biological processes across chronological progression and multiple biological scales. Applicants from higher education institutions, nonprofits, for-profit organizations, small businesses, and governmental entities are eligible to apply. Applications will be evaluated based on scientific merit, technical adequacy of experimental design, investigator competency, facility adequacy, budget necessity, and relevance to program objectives, with particular emphasis on advancing prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. The application deadline is June 20, 2025, with an anticipated award period of five years.
Recent Cancer Biology Research program awards have ranged from approximately $30,000 to over $4.8 million, with typical project periods spanning two to five years, though the maximum award amount for this specific opportunity is not specified in the announcement. The anticipated award period of five years indicates a substantial commitment to long-term research initiatives. Research activities are expected to be conducted at eligible domestic institutions, including research universities, academic medical centers, and comprehensive cancer centers throughout the United States.
Synopsis
The MetNet is a collection of Research Centers that support using systems level approaches to understand the non-linear, dynamic and emergent processes in metastasis. Considering chronological progression and biological scales, the MetNet seeks to collectively derive a more comprehensive and cohesive picture of metastasis as a whole body, systems-level problem.
