NCI Funding Opportunities for Measuring the Validity of Currently Existing Digital Health and AI/ML Technologies

NIH Institutes and Centers (including NCI) are interested in the validity, reliability, and utility of digital health tools and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) technologies. You can apply for NCI funding to support the validation of these technologies for cancer research.

3-D rendering of a DNA strand. A section of the two strands is highlighted to show how researchers are studying tiny variants in DNA to see how they impact gene expression and, potentially, cancer.

New Platform for Prioritizing Genetic Variants Underlying Cancer Risk

Are you having trouble prioritizing which genetic variants to study in your cancer research? There’s a new platform, called FORGEdb, that can help you pinpoint promising variants and target genes.

A stethoscope and a strand of DNA blended together denotes a new tool that allows researchers to more easily integrate clinical and genetic data.

cBioPortal Updates Offer Joint Analysis of Genetic and Clinical Data

Interested in blending clinical and genetic data? Upgrades in cBioPortal can help you work with these very different data types to better understand cancer and how it progresses over time.

Get Your Data Science Research Funded Through NCI DCCPS

Do you conduct research on statistical and analytical methods, cancer survivorship, digital health, and/or data science tools and methods? Apply for an R01 grant from NCI’s Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences by June 5 or October 5, 2024.

A tissue cell neighborhood shows four groups of cells, featuring different cell types, including immune cells and tumor cells. Lines connect the cells and cell groups, showing how cells interact, both with their closest neighbors and with cell groups that are farther away.

Algorithm Shines Light on Cancer Cell Neighborhoods

The ways that cells interact with neighboring cells and their environments can either regulate or promote how tumors grow and spread. See how a new tool is helping us better understand these important “neighborhood” interactions.
