Opportunity Information: Apply for PA 17 241
The grant opportunity titled "Fostering Research Training and Education Programs for Native American Students at NCI-designated Cancer Centers (Admin Supp)" (Funding Opportunity Number PA-17-241) is a National Cancer Institute (NCI) administrative supplement program designed to expand research training and education efforts specifically for Native American students. Its central purpose is to strengthen the cancer research pipeline and workforce diversity by creating or enhancing structured opportunities for Native American students to gain meaningful exposure to cancer research, education, and training activities connected to NCI-designated Cancer Centers. The initiative sits within NCIs broader mission of reducing cancer-related health disparities across the United States, with a clear emphasis on supporting capacity building in and near communities that experience disproportionate cancer burdens and reduced access to research and training resources.
A key driver behind this opportunity is the NCI Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD). CRCHD was established to make cancer disparities work more coordinated and impactful by helping set strategic priorities, guiding program direction, and shaping scientific policy related to cancer disparities research and training. In practical terms, this supplement mechanism is meant to reinforce NCIs efforts to develop a stronger and more diverse scientific workforce, including students and investigators from groups that have been historically underrepresented in biomedical research. By focusing on Native American students within the ecosystem of NCI-designated Cancer Centers, the opportunity aims to connect trainees to high-quality research environments, mentorship, and educational experiences that can support longer-term career development in cancer research and related fields.
In terms of applicant eligibility, the opportunity is aimed at U.S.-based institutions, with eligible applicants including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. Foreign institutions are explicitly not eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are also not eligible. In addition, foreign components (as defined under the NIH Grants Policy Statement) are not allowed. This means the work supported under the supplement must be carried out within allowable U.S. institutional and programmatic boundaries, consistent with NIH policy. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is listed as education and health, reflecting the training and educational focus rather than a traditional stand-alone research project.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity administered under the National Institutes of Health, with CFDA number 93.397. The original closing date listed for the opportunity was April 28, 2017, and the creation date was March 30, 2017. While the provided source information does not specify an award ceiling or the expected number of awards, the "Admin Supp" label indicates that this mechanism is intended to provide additional funds to support supplements tied to existing eligible awards rather than functioning exactly like a new, independent grant program. For full operational details, including the specific eligibility requirements, allowable costs, supplement structure, and application instructions, applicants are directed to consult the full Funding Opportunity Announcement.Apply for PA 17 241
