Ideal Applicant
Established cancer research institutions or clinical-trial organizations with capacity to run or participate in multi-institution oncology research.
Good Fit
- • Running or partnering on oncology clinical trials or NCI‑network research.
- • Institutional capacity (university cancer center, hospital research center, research foundation).
- • Budget requests aligned with typical distributions (tens of thousands to several hundred thousand dollars, with some multi‑hundred‑thousand awards).
- • Ability to manage grant administration and reporting for clinical research collaborations.
Geography
Observed grants span 42 states in the latest year and roughly 88% of dollars were paid to out‑of‑state recipients, indicating a national footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 109 distinct recipients with a mix of large research centers and many other organizations, and a substantial number of repeat and new grantees across the three years.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of a public application portal is lacking, but 36 new recipients appeared in 2024 and prior years also added new grantees, so unfamiliar applicants have demonstrably entered the portfolio even though formal application instructions are not published.
