what is a spore grant
Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPOREs) In 1992, the NCI established the Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPORE). The NCI Translational Research Program (TRP) is the home of the SPOREs, and a cornerstone of NCIâs efforts to promote collaborative, interdisciplinary translational cancer research. SPORE grants involve both basic and clinical/applied science, and support projects that will result in new and diverse approaches to the prevention, early detection, diagnosis and treatment of human cancers.
