Agency Code: HHS-NIH11 Agency Name: Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Posted Date: Dec 17, 2018 Close Date: Jan 07, 2022 Last Updated Date: Dec 17, 2018 Award Ceiling: $400,000 Award Floor: $0 Estimated Total Program Funding: Expected Number of Awards: Description: This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will support the development and characterization of state-of-the-art biomimetic tissue-engineered technologies for cancer research. Collaborative, multidisciplinary projects that engage the fields of regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, biomaterials, and bioengineering with cancer biology will be essential for generating novel experimental models that mimic cancer pathophysiology. The projects supported by this FOA will establish and collectively participate in the Cancer Tissue Engineering Collaborative (TEC) Research Program. The Cancer TEC Program will (1) catalyze the advancement of innovative, well characterized in vitro and ex vivo systems available for cancer research, (2) expand the breadth of these systems to several cancer types, and (3) promote the exploration of cancer phenomena with biomimetic tissue-engineered systems.
