Cancer Moonshot Funding Opportunities

Multiple dates

On October 30, 2017 the National Cancer Institute is pleased to announce the release of 17 new Cancer Moonshot funding opportunities. As you know, efforts supported through the Cancer Moonshot aim to accelerate cancer research, making more therapies available to patients and improving the ability to prevent cancer and detect it the earliest stage possible.

Following receipt of the Blue Ribbon Panel report, NCI identified funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) from within its extensive research portfolio that address the goals of the Cancer Moonshot. These opportunities mark the beginning of a growing Cancer Moonshot portfolio which will continue to expand given the authorization of the 21st Century Cures Act to fund the Beau Biden Cancer Moonshot with $1.8 billion over 7 years. While the FOAs listed below highlight research initiatives that align with the efforts of the Cancer Moonshot, they may be supported with existing funds or with the 21st Century Cures funding.
