Apply for Cancer Control Grants
Beginning in FY26 (October 1, 2025), the NIH will no longer post notices of funding opportunities (NOFOs) in the NIH Guide. Instead, Grants.gov will serve as the NIH’s single official source for grant and cooperative agreement funding opportunities. For more information, see NOT-OD-25-143.
The Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences funds a large portfolio of grants and contracts. Here we provide a listing of funding opportunities that are currently accepting applications. Please visit this page regularly, as new funding opportunities are added upon approval by NCI.
For information on the portfolio, please go to the Research Portfolios section of this website.
Go to the Archive of Funding Opportunities for information on expired funding announcements. Visit the Cancer Control Research section of this website for descriptive information on currently funded grants in this area.
In an effort to standardize terminology across the government, NIH is joining other federal agencies in using the term notice of funding opportunities (NOFOs) rather than funding opportunity announcements (FOAs). You will see both terms in use while we work to update our websites and resources.
To learn more about any of the funding opportunities listed below, please visit the grants.gov search page and enter the opportunity number.
