TITLE: Follow-Up Survey to Assess Non-Government Funding Opportunities for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) Cancer Research
GENERIC CLEARANCE UNDER OMB# _0925-0046-22 __ EXP. DATE: __10/31/2006______
The goal of this follow-up survey is to collect information that will allow the NCI Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine (OCCAM) to assess how organizations external to the Federal government offer funding for cancer CAM research, as well as develop a directory of these types of non-governmental organizations that offer funding for cancer CAM research. The OCCAM initially conducted a similar funding survey in Spring 2006 under OMB #0925-0046-15. From previous research, OCCAM has learned that one of the hurdles that many cancer CAM researchers encounter is the difficulty of obtaining research funding for foundational or exploratory research. Often, researchers must obtain their initial funding through non-Federal sources, so that they can demonstrate proof of concept, which can be a pre-condition of obtaining Federal funds. The information that will be collected from this research will provide OCCAM with an understanding of how non-Federal funding sources operate, with hopes to share this information with cancer CAM researchers so that they can better target the funding sources that are most closely aligned with their research objectives.
