Description

This U24 funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is a part of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) initiative to establish the "NCI Awardee Skills Development Consortium (NASDC)." The overarching goal of this initiative is to provide opportunities for current NCI grantees, especially those who are junior faculty (e.g., assistant professors, instructors, research scientists, or equivalent), to enhance their skills in areas that are critical for establishing and maintaining successful independent academic cancer research careers. This U24 FOA solicits applications for a Coordinating Center to address the NASDC logistics and evaluation needs in serving the NASDC Research Education Short Courses that will be supported by a companion UE5 FOA RFA-CA-19-010). The various logistic and evaluation activities and roles of the U24 NASDC Coordinating Center include, but are not limited to, working together with the UE5 Research Education Short Course awardees on advertising the NASDC Short Courses and recruiting participants; providing logistic support during course implementation; arranging periodic NASDC Steering Committee in-person meetings and teleconferences and preparing summary minutes; and assuming a primary role in the evaluation of the NASDC Courses and overall program.
