Description

Purpose. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits applications from institutions/organizations that propose to serve as Research Bases for the NCI-supported Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP) Network. The goal for CCOP is to develop and conduct state-of-the-art cancer prevention, control, and treatment clinical trials with significant involvement of community oncologists and populations they serve. The CCOP Network consists of three components (each with its own FOA), which are: CCOP Groups (also referred to as CCOPs); Minority Based-CCOPs; and CCOP Research Bases (covered by this FOA). A CCOP Group encompasses community oncologists who accrue patients/participants to NCI-approved clinical trials. The Minority Based CCOPs are formed by oncologists in communities with a high proportion of minority patients that accrue patients/participants to NCI-approved clinical trials. These trials are designed and conducted by the CCOP Research Bases, which also manage and analyze the data, and report the results. CCOP Research Bases must be located either at an NCI-supported Clinical Cooperative Group or at an NCI-designated Cancer Center. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH U10 cooperative agreement award mechanism. Parallel FOAs (RFA-CA-10-010 and RFA-CA-10-012) solicit applications for CCOP groups and MBCCOP Groups respectively. It is imperative that CCOP Research Base applicants familiarize themselves with these parallel FOAs for Groups. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The NCI intends to commit up to $1.5 million in total costs in FY 2011 to fund one (1) CCOP Research Base award.
