The overall goal of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to encourage the submission of research grant applications to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which oncogenic fusion genes and their gene products contribute to paediatric sarcoma initiation, progression, and metastasis. Better understanding of the molecular pathways activated by chromosomal translocations in pediatric sarcomas, and their relationship to oncogenesis and tumour progression, can elucidate mechanisms of cancer pathogenesis and potentially lead to novel therapeutics.
