The sole intent of the P20 partnership awards is to provide support for cancer projects and programs for limited durations of time to perform feasibility studies and obtain preliminary data that will lead to the submission of specific competitive grant applications for support by the NCI and/or other sources of peer-reviewed funding. -Eligible organizations include: Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs)(e.g., Historically Black Colleges and Universities [HBCUs], Hispanic-Serving Institutions [HSIs], and Tribal Institutions [e.g., Colleges]) either in the United States (U.S.) or in territories under U.S. jurisdiction; and institutions that are NCI-designated Cancer Centers (or groups of centers) that wish to develop comprehensive partnerships. Each partnership must include linked applications from both types of institutions. MSI and cancer center applicant institutions are required to submit linked applications and request linked awards for one joint program. The linked applications will be reviewed together and will be assigned one priority score.
