Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA CA 17 023
Integration and Validation of Emerging Technologies to Accelerate Cancer Research (R33) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity released by the Department of Health and Human Services under the Beau Biden Cancer Moonshot Initiative, a federal effort designed to speed up progress in cancer research. The focus of this announcement is not on basic, early-stage invention, but on pushing promising emerging technologies further along the development path and putting them through rigorous validation so they can realistically become enabling tools for cancer research and clinical oncology. In practical terms, the FOA is aimed at projects that can demonstrate that a new technology, tool, or capability is not only innovative, but also reliable, reproducible, and ready to be adopted by the broader research or clinical community to accelerate discoveries or improve how cancer is studied and managed.
This opportunity uses the R33 grant mechanism, which generally supports advanced development, optimization, and validation activities. The goal is to bridge the gap between a clever idea or prototype and something that performs well under real-world conditions, with clear evidence that it works as intended. Successful projects under this type of program typically emphasize performance benchmarking, analytical and clinical validation where appropriate, testing across relevant samples or settings, and demonstrating robustness, scalability, and usability. Because the stated intent is transformative potential, the program is looking for technologies that could meaningfully change the pace, accuracy, or scope of cancer research or clinical decision-making, rather than incremental improvements.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant in the Education and Health activity area, and it is associated with multiple CFDA listings: 93.393, 93.394, 93.395, and 93.396. The issuing agency is NIH, and the funding opportunity number is RFA-CA-17-023. The announcement was created on March 22, 2017, with an original application closing date of May 10, 2017. NIH anticipated making around 10 awards under this solicitation, and the listed award ceiling is $325,000.
Eligibility is broad and includes many kinds of organizations that can contribute to technology development and validation in cancer research. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (outside of higher education); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and additional eligible entities as described in the announcement’s eligibility clarification text. This wide eligibility reflects the program’s emphasis on getting impactful technology across the finish line, wherever the strongest technical expertise, development capacity, and validation resources may sit, including academia, government labs, nonprofits, and industry.
Overall, the RFA-CA-17-023 FOA is best understood as a Moonshot-driven push to harden and prove out next-generation cancer research and oncology technologies by funding the kinds of detailed engineering, testing, validation, and demonstration work that turns high-potential concepts into dependable tools that the field can confidently use.Apply for RFA CA 17 023
