Description
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is seeking applications for the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) Community Sites. The purpose of NCORP is to engage cancer patient populations, those at risk of cancer, and organizations in rigorous studies focused on cancer control, prevention, treatment, and care delivery. NCORP Community Sites are expected to meet or exceed the required annual 70 new unique patient/participant accruals evenly distributed between cancer control, prevention, and screening/post-treatment surveillance trials, and treatment and imaging trials, respectively.
• The program aims to enhance generalizability and dissemination of clinical trial results through accrual in a variety of community settings.
• NCORP Community Sites will interact with the NCORP Research Bases by providing insight into clinical significance during concept development, identifying care disparities in their local populations that could be studied, and providing input on feasibility during protocol development.
• The program will support the following components: NCORP Research Bases, NCORP Community Sites, and NCORP Academic Community Sites.
• Applicants must submit a Data Management and Sharing Plan at the time of application.
• The program requires compliance with NCORP Program Guidelines/Handbook and other relevant regulations and guidelines.
