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.
