Description

The NCI/NASA Fundamental Technologies for the Development of Biomolecular Sensors Program is soliciting projects to develop the fundamental elements of technology systems or system components that will measure, analyze, and manipulate molecular processes at appropriate scale in the living body. The discoveries from this program are intended to enable the development of complete systems for the in vivo sensing of signatures of pathologic cell types or closely associated microenvironmental factors that provide a seamless interface between sensing/detection and delivery of signature-specific intervention. Specific areas for fundamental technology development targeted by this solicitation include, novel molecular recognition chemistries, materials, chemical composites, nanoparticles, nanostructures, agents, and devices suitable for in vivo use. novel strategies for in vivo signal generation and amplification. non-invasive dynamic signal acquisition systems suitable for non-invasive, dynamic signal acquisition from deep tissues and systems of reduced scale suitable for manned space missions. new tools for feature definition and extraction, including computational and mathematical approaches. new approaches and multifunctional technology platforms to create an interface between in vivo detection and targeted intervention, including nanostructures/devices and novel materials and composites. The detailed Broad Agency Announcement is available on the web site of the Research Contracts Branch, National Cancer Institute at: http://rcb.nci.nih.gov/appl/rfp/17016/Table%20of%20Contents.htm.
