The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Center for Global Health (CGH) seeks to support impactful research that leverages scientific opportunities afforded by global collaboration. The purpose of this Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) is to highlight CGH’s interest in supporting studies aimed at fostering collaborations between researchers who are part of CGH’s funded research networks or partnering with researchers on CGH’s networks. This supplemental opportunity will support current awardees of CGH-led or co-led networks (see Eligibility section). Projects can include collaborations between current awardees within a CGH-led or co-led network, collaborations across networks between current awardees of CGH-led or co-led programs, and/or may include investigators who are not currently supported by the CGH research programs. Examples of collaborative projects that this NOSI could support include, but are not limited to, research needs assessment surveys and preliminary studies to extend research aims.
Note that projects facilitating new collaborations are of particular interest. Applicants are encouraged to consider how collaborative projects may enhance diverse perspectives within their project teams by introducing new investigators, ideas, and viewpoints.
