The NCI is very pleased to announce that the Innovative Molecular Analysis Technologies (IMAT) program funding opportunity announcements have been posted for calendar year (CY) 2013. Please visit this website for more information on these announcements. For your convenience, a link to each solicitation is provided below with associated submission deadlines for new applications and resubmissions. Please contact the NCI IMAT program director, Dr.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is seeking community input on a priority list for renewable affinity reagents for human transcription factors. For more information or to provide input, please visit, http://commonfund.nih.gov/proteincapture/reagents/index.aspx.
Does your small business need early-stage financing to take its cancer research to the next level?
The National Cancer Institute’s Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) announces the launch of the CPTAC Data Portal. The Data Portal hosts all the data that is currently being produced by the consortium with additional historic data from CPTAC 1. The total amount of hosted data exceeds over 500 GB of RAW data in over 800 files.
The NCI Clinical Assay Development Program (CADP) is requesting project applications from investigators seeking clinical assay validation resources. These resources are designed to assist with the development of assays that may predict therapy response or prognostic behavior of a diagnosed cancer, primarily for use in clinical trials. Approved projects for the NCI CADP will be provided access to the Institute’s assay development and validation resources, including project management support.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI), through the Office of Cancer Clinical Proteomics Research (OCCPR), has signed two Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) in the areas of sharing proteomics reagents and protocols and also in regulatory science.
The Omics Integration in Biology and Medicine Workshop, held on June 19th and 20th is now available for viewing on NIH Videocast: Day 1 and Day 2. The workshop focused on the emerging field of integrating disparate omic data from genomics, proteomics, glycomics, etc. in order to better understand key biological processes and also improve clinical practice.
The focus of this meeting will be on the emerging field of integrating disparate omic data from genomics, proteomics, glycomics, etc. in order to better understand key biological processes and also improve clinical practice. Discussants will focus on identifying the technical and biological barriers in omic integration, with solutions to build a consensus towards data integration in bioscience and to better define phenotypes.
In an effort to provide well-characterized monoclonal antibodies to the scientific community, NCI's Antibody Characterization Program requests cancer-related protein targets for affinity production and distribution.
Submissions will be accepted through July 9, 2012.
The Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research is now accepting Expressions of Interest to its new Visiting Scholars Program (VSP). VSP is a unique opportunity for researchers to work on important cancer and AIDS projects with teams of scientists at the only federal national laboratory in the United States devoted exclusively to biomedical research.
This Request for Information (RFI) is directed toward determining how best to accelerate research in disruptive proteomics technologies.
The Disruptive Proteomics Technologies (DPT) Working Group of the NIH Common Fund wishes to identify gaps and opportunities in current technologies and methodologies related to proteome-wide measurements. For the purposes of this RFI, “disruptive” is defined as very rapid, very significant gains, similar to the "disruptive" technology development that occurred in DNA sequencing technology.
NCI’s Cancer Bulletin highlight a recent conversation with Drs. Henry Rodriguez and Christopher Kinsinger of OCCPR focusing on Open Data Access in Proteomics.
