Proposals are now being solicited from qualified firms to provide the necessary resources for the collection of viable surgical, biopsy, and autopsy specimens from a variety of human tissues and cells (lung, bronchus, colon, liver, pancreas) and other biological specimens (pleural effusions, blood and urine) from donors with epidemiological profiles prepared in specifically designed patient questionnaires which include the relevant medical records. The Laboratory of Human Carcinogenesis subjects these tissues and cells to in vitro adaptability, carcinogenesis, and biochemical characterizations for chemical and oncogene-induced micromolecular alterations. These studies facilitate development of innovative methods for biochemical and epidemiological study of populations at risk for chemical carcinogenesis. Relevant studies are expanded by xenotransplantation techniques for definitive assay of chemically stimulated tumorigenesis. It is planned that RFP No. NCI-CP-85646-13 will be available on or about May 13, 1988. Proposals will be due approximately 45 days following the actual date of RFP issuance. The National Cancer Institute will consider proposals from all reponsible sources. However, offerors must demonstrate in their technical proposal their ability to facilitate delivery of the nonfrozen viable tissues to the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, within two hours of collection as a mandatory requirement of the RFP. Failure to demonstrate this element will result in the offeror's elimination from further consideration. It is anticipated that approximately 13,840 staff hours will be required annually for this four-year contract. Copies of the RFP may be obtained by sending a written request to: Sharon A. Miller, Contract Specialist National Cancer Institute, RCB Blair Building, Room 114 National Institutes of Health Bethesda, Maryland 20892 Telephone: (301) 427-8888 IRON OVERLOAD: COOLEY'S ANEMIA AND OTHER DISORDERS RFA AVAILABLE: NIH-88-HL-14-B P.T. 34; K.W. 0785070, 0750010 National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Application Receipt Date: September 19, 1988 The Blood Diseases Branch of the Division of Blood Diseases and Resources, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, announces the availability of a Request for Applications (RFA) on the above subject. Copies of the RFA are currently available from staff of the Blood Diseases Branch. The purpose of this initiative is to stimulate clinical and basic research on the development or evaluation of new or improved therapies for the management of iron overload in Cooley's anemia or other transfusion-related iron loading disorders. This special RFA program is intended to be for FIVE years of support. It is anticipated that about six grants will be awarded under this program. The specific amount to be funded will, however, depend on the merit and scope of the applications received and the availability of funds. Requests for copies of the complete RFA should be addressed to: Alan S. Levine, Ph.D. Chief, Blood Diseases Branch Division of Blood Diseases and Resources National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Federal Building, Room 5A12 National Institutes of Health Bethesda, Maryland 20892 Telephone: (301) 496-5911 NCI COMPREHENSIVE MINORITY BIOMEDICAL PROGRAM CANCER CENTERS MINORITY ENHANCEMENT AWARDS RFA AVAILABLE: 88-CA-11 P.T. 04, FF; K.W. 0715035, 0710030, 0745020, 0745055, 0415000, 0710095 National Cancer Institute Letter of Intent Date: June 1, 1988 Application Receipt Date: August 2, 1988 INTRODUCTION 1. Background The Division of Cancer Prevention and Control (DCPC) and the Division of Extramural Activities (DEA), National Cancer Institute, invite applications for supplemental support to Cancer Center grants to expand minority involvement in cancer control research. Cancer Centers would promote the participation of minority groups in cancer control research by broadening their operational base to facilitate the expansion of cancer control research efforts in early detection, prevention, screening, pre-treatment evaluation, treatment, continua-tion care rehabilitation; and the increased involvement of minority population primary care providers early in the course of clinical treatment. The program effort would also promote the participation of minorities in treatment clinical research that utilizes institutional protocols. The effort would seek to support programs carrying out cancer control research activities related to diet and nutrition and would hopefully coordinate the contributions of investigators from various relevant disciplines, e.g., behavioral psychology and nutrition science. The present RFA announcement is for a single competition with a deadline of August 2, 1988. Applications should be prepared and submitted in accordance with the aims and requirements described in the complete RFA document and summarized in the following sections. II. Research Goals and Scope This program effort would promote the participation of minorities in cancer control activities at those cancer centers with funded Cancer Center Support Grants which access large or predominately minority populations. 4 A supplement to a Cancer Center Support Grant (P30 "core grant") would provide monies for increased minority involvement in a variety of activities by the centers including the enrollment of increased numbers of minority patients on cancer treatment and cancer control potocols. III. Mechanism of Support Support will be provided through a competitively awarded core grant supplement at a maximum projected annual direct cost of $150,000. Funds may be requested to support: data management, supplies, salaries of professional and/or support personnel, computer time, administrative expenses, etc., in accordance with PHS grant policies for Cancer Center Support Grants. The request must be justified in the budget section of the application. The initial review of applications will be conducted by the Division of Extramural Activities, NCI, using a Special Review Committee. Final review is provided by the National Cancer Advisory Board. It is anticipated that five awards will be made subject to receipt of meritorious applications and continued availability of funds. IV. Inquiries A copy of the complete RFA describing the research goals and scope, the review criteria, and the method of applying can be obtained by contacting: Dr. Lemuel A. Evans Program Director, Comprehensive Minority Biomedical Program Division of Extramural Activities National Cancer Institute Building 31, Room 10A-04 Bethesda, Maryland 20892 Telephone: (30l) 496-7344 Inquiries concerning this announcement are encouraged and should be directed to Dr. Lemuel A. Evans at the above address and phone number. The program staff would appreciate the opportunity to clarify any issues or questions. -------
