Description

Through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) intends to support the continuation of the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS) that investigates the long-term morbidity and mortality associated with cancer treatments. The CCSS represents a multi-institutional, multidisciplinary collaborative research resource that currently has health-related data from 38,000 or more 5-year survivors of pediatric and adolescent cancer patients with a comparison sibling control cohort. This NOFO seeks to obtain additional age-related longitudinal information from the current cohort of survivors and to include pediatric cancer survivors receiving modern therapies. The goal of the CCSS is to serve as a data resource and a biorepository for researchers. The objectives are to use the resources to conduct cancer risk assessments, observational and intervention-based research studies associated with long-term outcomes across the life span of survivors with the intent of improving cancer treatments. This is a Forecast for a single source that will invite application(s) from eligible organization(s) to apply. Please see the Eligibility Section for additional information. In accordance with NIH standard peer-review processes, the application(s) will be peer-reviewed, and only meritorious application(s) will be considered for funding.
