Purpose
This is a limited competition Notice of Funding Opportunity Announcement (NOFO) and only the current award recipients under RFA-CA-17-057 are eligible to submit applications in response to this NOFO. This NOFO is one of six NOFOs that support the comprehensive effort by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to provide the infrastructure for the conduct of national clinical trials through the National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN). The primary goal of the NCTN is the conduct of multi-center, late-phase, clinical treatment trials (i.e., randomized phase 2 and phase 3 trials) and advanced imaging trials across a broad range of cancers, modalities, and diverse patient populations as part of the NCI’s overall clinical research program for adults, adolescents and young adults, and children with cancer. The NCTN also conducts, as necessary, preliminary studies needed for development of definitive trials, especially umbrella/basket trials and rare tumor trials, when an extensive, national patient catchment area is required.
The NCTN Program supports the following clinical trials infrastructure components through individual awards made under the respective NOFOs indicated below:
NCTN – Network Group Operations Centers under RFA-CA-24-030 (U10)
NCTN – Network Group Statistics and Data Management Centers under RFA-CA-24-031 (U10) – this NOFO
NCTN – Canadian Collaborating Clinical Trials Network under RFA-CA-24-032 (U10)
NCTN – Network Lead Academic Participating Sites under RFA-CA-24-033 (UG1)
NCTN – Network Radiotherapy & Imaging Core Services Center under RFA-CA-24-034 (U24
NCTN – Network Group Integrated Translational Science Centers under RFA-CA-24-035 (UG1)
Through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) solicits applications from institutions/organizations that propose to maintain Network Group Statistics and Data Management Centers for the NCI National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN). The NCTN Network Group Statistics and Data Management Centers will provide statistical expertise for effective scientific design, conduct, and data management of clinical trials led by the associated NCTN Network Group Operations Center.
