The National Cancer Institute is offering a grant to establish a Liver Cancer Consortium for translational research in early detection of liver cancer. This initiative aims to improve surveillance in high-risk populations, detect liver cancer at an early stage, and stratify at-risk individuals. The grant will support Translational Research Centers to conduct studies using biospecimens from cirrhotic patients and build a repository of biospecimens. Researchers are encouraged to collaborate and advance the field of early liver cancer detection. Application deadline is October 24, 2017.

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is a part of an initiative designed to establish a Liver Cancer Consortium to advance translational research focused on early detection of liver cancer. The Consortium will consist of several Translational Research Centers (TRCs, to be supported by this U01 FOA) and a Data Management and Coordinating Center (DMCC, to be supported a companion U24 FOA, RFA-CA-17-028). The TRCs will conduct studies to improve the surveillance of liver cancer in members of high-risk populations, increase the fraction of liver cancer detected at an early stage, and better stratify patients at risk of developing liver cancer. Research to be conducted by TRCs must be based on appropriate range of biospecimens from cohorts that are focused on cirrhotic patients. A major collaborative effort of the TRCs will be the establishment of a well annotated repository of biospecimens. Biospecimens (blood, other body fluids, and, when feasible, liver tissue) may be already available and/or may be prospectively collected. |
