Description

The mission of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Division of Cancer Biology (DCB) is to ensure continuity and stability in basic cancer research while encouraging and facilitating the emergence of new concepts, technologies, and possibilities. Towards its mission, the DCB supports multiple collaborative research programs focused on addressing important questions in basic cancer biology. To maximize the combined impact of DCB programs, this FOA aims to support a common coordinating body to facilitate collaborations, resource sharing, and outreach activities across DCB programs. DCB research programs to be coordinated by the DCB Multi-Consortia Coordinating Center (MC2 Center) include the Cancer Cell Biology Imaging Resource (CCBIR), the Cancer Systems Biology Consortium (CSBC), the Cancer Tissue Engineering Collaborative (TEC), the Metastasis Research Network (MetNet), the Patient-Derived Models of Cancer Initiative (PDMC), and the Physical Sciences-Oncology Network (PS-ON). In carrying out its roles, the MC2 Center is expected to work collaboratively with DCB research program investigators, other investigators collaborating with DCB research programs, and NCI program staff.
