Details:
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is one of three FOAs that will support a comprehensive effort by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to provide infrastructure to develop and conduct national cancer screening clinical trials and studies through the Cancer Screening Research Network (CSRN). The primary goal of the CSRN is the conduct of multi-center cancer screening trials and studies. This Network is designed to take advantage of large and diverse populations receiving routine care in a variety of healthcare settings. The CSRN will engage these populations in rigorous studies focused on cancer screening to improve early cancer detection and evaluate emerging cancer screening modalities with the ultimate goal of reducing cancer incidence, and cancer-related morbidity and mortality.
The CSRN will support the following components that will be individually awarded through the respective FOAs indicated below:
CSRN Accrual, Enrollment, and Screening Sites (ACCESS) Hubs;
- CSRN ACCESS Hubs will establish multi-disciplinary teams to recruit participants to CSRN trials and studies, conduct the screening protocols, and participate in the scientific development and implementation of those trials and studies.
Goals of CSRN
To successfully achieve this goal, the CSRN must:
- Establish the organizational and administrative infrastructure of all necessary components needed to implement cancer screening clinical studies and trials, especially a large, randomized control trial for cancer screening.
- Develop cancer screening trials to evaluate emerging cancer detection modalities for clinical utility.
- Assess the clinical utility of cancer screening programs or biomarkers of detection including downstream interventions and health outcomes.
- Apply precision medicine approaches to screening using novel risk assessment tools to individualize screening protocols.
- Evaluate the effectiveness, feasibility, and scalability of screening strategies in real-world settings.
- Identify and address technical, process, and/or cultural challenges to adapt the implementation of screening strategies for diverse practice settings.
- Conduct surveillance of cancer screening in diverse populations to track progress and characterize reach and health outcomes across populations.
- Develop cancer screening studies to evaluate clinical workflow and coordination of care.
Award Budget
The requested budget must not exceed $750,000 in direct costs per year.
Award Project Period
The maximum project period is 4 years.
