Description

Through this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) intends to establish collaborations between liver cancer investigators and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)-funded Liver Cirrhosis Network (LCN) members to advance our understanding of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as the result of liver cirrhosis and its etiologic risks, development, progression, early diagnosis, and treatment. The funds available through this FOA will support new multidisciplinary liver cancer-specific collaborations between eligible liver cancer investigators and one or more of the NIDDK-funded LCN members. This structure is intended to maximize the effectiveness of the network by facilitating collaborative opportunities that enhance the scientific goals of the collaborating units and the LCN as a whole. Applicants selected for NCI funding will become members of the Liver Cirrhosis Network-Liver Cancer Collaboratory (LCN-LCa) Committee.
