NCI National Clinical Trials Network - Network Group Integrated Translational Science Centers (U10)
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits applications from institutions/organizations that propose to establish Network Group Integrated Translational Science 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; Network Group Statistics and Data Management Centers; Network Group Integrated Translational Science Centers (covered by this FOA); Lead Academic Participating Site Centers; Network Radiotherapy and Imaging Core Services Centers; and a Canadian Collaborating Clinical Trials Network.
The NCTN Network Group Integrated Translational Science Centers will provide support for leadership and expertise to facilitate incorporating translational science into Network Group clinical trials.
