This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages Small Business Innovation Research (STTR) grant applications from small business concerns (SBCs) proposing commercially-directed research for the development of cancer prevention, diagnosis, or treatment technologies to improve cancer outcomes in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), and low-resource settings in the US. Specifically, the FOA encourages grant applications from SBCs to develop or adapt, apply, and validate existing or emerging technologies into user-friendly products for cancer prevention, diagnosis, or treatment in low-resource settings. These technologies should be practical and affordable in the low-resource settings, including remote or underserved populations within or outside the US. The technologies may include, but are not limited to tools for vaccine dissemination/delivery, imaging, in vitro diagnosis, or treatment of pre-cancerous (pre-neoplastic) or cancerous lesions that are preventable or treatable within low-resource settings. Strong emphasis is placed on technologies that directly provide or immediately lead to treatment options available in the local health system.
