PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:
To reduce cancer incidence, morbidity, and mortality
through an orderly sequence from research on interventions and their
impact in defined populations to the broad, systematic application of
the research results through dissemination and diffusion strategies.
Primary emphasis is on the inclusion of a cancer prevention and control
intervention in any proposed study. Cancer Prevention and Control
research studies are classified into one of five phases that represent
the orderly progression noted in the definition: (1) Hypothesis
development; (2) methods development and testing; (3) controlled
intervention trials to establish cause-and-effect relationships; (4)
research in defined populations; and (5) demonstration and
implementation studies. A primary interest is in research on cancer
control interventions in Phases 2 through 5. Cancer Prevention and
Control programs include those in the following areas: (1)
chemoprevention; (2)cancer communications; (3) nutrition, diet, and
physical activity; (4) screening and early detection, including
biomarker development and validation; (5) biobehavioral mechanisms; (6)
tobacco control; (7) special populations research; (8) cancer
survivorship; (9) health services and outcomes research; and (10)
surveillance research. Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)
program: To expand and improve the SBIR program; to increase private
sector commercialization of innovations derived from Federal research
and development; and to foster and encourage participation of socially
and economically disadvantaged small business concerns and women-owned
small business concerns in technological innovation. Small Business
Technology Transfer (STTR) program: To stimulate and foster scientific
and technological innovation through cooperative research and
development carried out between small business concerns and research
institutions; to foster technology transfer between small business
concerns and research institutions; to increase private sector
commercialization of innovations derived from Federal research and
development; and to foster and encourage participation of socially and
economically disadvantaged small business concerns and women-owned
small business concerns in technological innovation.
