The function of the Consortium is to conduct Phase 1 and pilot studies in children with cancer so that new agents can be introduced into the pediatric oncology setting in a timely manner. The Consortium's ability to quickly conduct “first in children” studies is critical to NCI’s overall clinical research program for children with cancer. To accomplish the objectives of the FOA, a strong multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary research team is needed that can rapidly and efficiently design and conduct Phase 1 and pilot clinical trials and that is experienced in doing so within the ethical constraints applicable to research involving children.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Size of Grant -</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> $3.47 million<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Cost Sharing or Match –</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">No <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Web - </span></b><a href="http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-CA-12-502.html#_Section_II._Award_1"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-CA-12-502.html#_Section_II._Award_1</span></a><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Deadline Date –</span></b> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">February 17, 2012 <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Grant Resource </span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">–</span> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Department of Health and Human Services, US Food and Drug Administration <br><b>Category</b> –</span><span class="yiv1165985824announcetitle1"> </span><span class="yiv1165985824announcetitle1"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Minor Species Development of Drugs; Research Project Grant (R01)</span></span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Description – </span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is issued by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM), and solicits Research Project (R01) grant applications from institutions/organizations that propose to develop, or support the development of, new animal drugs intended for minor use in major species or intended for use in minor species. Only new animal drug products that have been designated in accordance with the provisions of section 573 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360ccc-2) and 21 CFR Part 516 are eligible for grants. FDA is authorized to provide grants for designated new animal drugs to assist in defraying the costs of qualified safety and effectiveness testing. This FOA relates to grants to assist in defraying the costs of qualified safety and effectiveness testing when a grant will either result in, or substantially contribute to, approval or conditional approval of a designated MUMS drug for a designated intended use. Applicants must include an explanation of how the proposed study will help gain product approval or conditional approval in the application’s “Background and Significance” section. All funded studies are subject to the requirements of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 331 et seq.), regulations issued under it, and applicable Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) statutes and regulations.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Size of Grant -</span></b> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">$125,000<b> </b> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Cost Sharing or Match – </span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">No<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Web –</span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> </span><a href="http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-FD-12-003.html#_Section_II._Award_1"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-FD-12-003.html#_Section_II._Award_1</span></a><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Deadline Date –</span></b> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">June 27, 2012<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Grant Resource </span></b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">–</span> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">National Institutes of Health (NIH)<br><b>Category</b> – Specialized Cooperative Centers Program in Reproduction and Infertility Research (U54)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Description –</span></b> <span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to announce the re-competition of the Specialized Cooperative Centers Program in Reproduction and Infertility Research (SCCPIR).
