The National Science Foundation, otherwise known as NSF, is a
United States Government agency that is predominantly answerable for
pursuing and ensuring fundamental scientific studies and education in
all the non-medical fields of science and engineering.
The programs and activities of the NSF are administered in an attempt to enable them to realize their mission, which is "to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense."
In keeping with this mission, the National Science Foundation, in close collaboration the National Cancer Institute, has recently developed the Physical and Engineering Sciences in Oncology Program wherein they mean to obtain a more detailed comprehension of cancer disorders with the application of physical and engineering sciences.
The folks at NSF reckon that the invention of great advances is greatly possible as a result of the consistent investments in inter- and multi-disciplinary research studies concerning the application of physical/engineering and life sciences and its influence on unraveling the cause and origin of cancer cell formation.
In addition, the NSF perceives that these advances will significantly add up to the prevention, early detection, and efficient management of cancer disorders. Which is completely essential because cancer is one of the most fatal diseases in the world today.
The proposals that will be submitted to the NSF should include the following:
a) The development of novel non-traditional physical and engineering sciences based approaches, materials, or platforms to thoroughly comprehend cancer disorders.
b) The generation of unique sets of physical measurements that are ideal for providing insight into molecular mechanisms of oncogenesis, metastasis, drug resistance or other aspects of cancer that could potentially lead to a more effective management of the disease.
c) The development and evaluation of theoretical approaches that would provide a comprehensive and dynamic understanding of cancer disorders.
The NSF estimates that it would award 5 to 10 grants to several applicants, with each grant amounting to $2,000,000 to $3,000,000.
The institutions and organizations that will be considered eligible to make an application for the Physical and Engineering Sciences in Oncology Program are the following:
a) Universities and two- and four-year colleges including community colleges that are found in the United States
b) Non-profit, non-academic organizations such as Independent museums, observatories, research laboratories and professional societies
c) For-profit organizations
d) State, Local, City and Township Governments
e) Unaffiliated Individuals such as Scientists, engineers or educators
f) Foreign organizations
g) Other Federal agencies.
