This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits applications from institutions/organizations that propose to establish Network Group Operations Centers for the NCI National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN). The goal of the NCTN is to develop and conduct state-of-the-art cancer treatment and advanced imaging clinical trials, especially large, definitive multi-institutional trials evaluating new cancer therapies and related clinical approaches for both adult and pediatric patients. The NCTN consists of six components, each with its own FOA, which are: Network Group Operations Centers (covered by this FOA); Network Group Statistics and Data Management Centers; Network Group Integrated Translation Science Support Centers; Lead Academic Participating Site Centers; Network Radiotherapy and Imaging Core Services Centers; and a Canadian Collaborating Clinical Trials Network.

The NCTN Network Group Operations Centers will provide scientific leadership for developing and implementing multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional trials in a range of cancer types and special populations with specific scientific strategy and goals.
