PART 52d--NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE CLINICAL CANCER EDUCATION PROGRAM--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 52d.6  Grant awards.

    (a) Within the limits of funds available, after consultation with 
the Board, the Director, NCI, may award grants to applicants with 
proposed programs which in the NCI Director's judgment best promote the 
purposes of this part, taking into consideration among other pertinent 
factors:
    (1) The relevance of the proposed program to the objectives of this 
part;
    (2) The extent to which the program would involve innovative 
teaching techniques;
    (3) The availability of adequate staff, facilities, and resources 
(including where necessary cooperative arrangements with other 
institutions or hospitals) to carry out the program;
    (4) The qualifications and experience of the program director;
    (5) The authority of the program director to ensure that the program 
is planned with multidisciplinary input and that multidisciplinary 
aspects of the program are carried out;
    (6) The extent to which the cancer education committee is broadly 
representative of the disciplines concerned with cancer care and 
teaching and is allowed to participate in the planning, organization, 
operation, and evaluation of the program;
    (7) If the program is to be offered at the pre-doctoral level, the 
extent to which its objectives are designed to aid students:
    (i) To acquire a basic understanding of fundamental principles of 
cancer biology, epidemiology, detection, diagnosis, prevention, 
treatment and control;
    (ii) To interest students in learning more about cancer; and
    (iii) To develop an appreciation of the need for a comprehensive 
multidisciplinary approach to the care of cancer patients;
    (8) The administrative and managerial capability of the applicant;
    (9) The reasonableness of the proposed budget in relation to the 
proposed program;

    (10) The adequacy of the methods for monitoring and evaluating the 
program on a continuing basis; and
    (11) The degree to which the application adequately provides for the 
requirements set forth in Sec. 52d.5.
    (b) The notice of grant award specifies how long HHS intends to 
support the program without requiring the program to recompete for 
funds. This period, called the project period, will usually be for 1-5 
years.
    (c) Generally, the grant will initially be for one year and 
subsequent continuation awards will also be for one year at a time. A 
grantee must submit a separate application to have the support continued 
for each subsequent year. Decisions regarding continuation awards and 
the funding level of such awards will be made after consideration of 
such factors as the grantee's progress and management practices, and the 
availability of funds. In all cases, continuation awards require a 
determination by HHS that continued funding is in the best interest of 
the government.
    (d) Neither the approval of any application nor the award of any 
grant commits or obligates the United States in any way to make any 
additional, supplemental, continuation, or other award with respect to 
any approved application or portion of an approved application.
