This grant is for developing new or significantly improved informatics technologies that help with cancer research. It's part of a program aimed at creating tools that can handle data related to cancer biology, treatment, diagnosis, and more. The focus is on early-stage development, meaning either starting from scratch or making big changes to existing tools. Successful projects will show why their technology is needed and how it will help cancer research, and they must include ways to get feedback from users.
Who it's for: This grant is for a wide range of organizations, including local and state governments, school districts, tribal governments, small businesses, non-profits, and higher education institutions. If your organization is involved in cancer research and can develop new informatics technologies, you might qualify.
