The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is offering the Minority-Based Community Clinical Oncology Program Groups (MBCCOP) grant. This program supports practicing oncologists who serve large racial/ethnic minority populations by enabling their participation in NCI-sponsored cancer prevention, control, and treatment clinical trials. The grant aims to be a national resource, supporting research activities of physicians caring for minorities eligible for NCI clinical trials. By linking minority cancer patients to the current NCI clinical trials network, this initiative facilitates the transfer of new research advancements into minority communities and to their physicians. MBCCOP Groups accrue patients to NCI-approved clinical trials, which are designed and conducted by CCOP Research Bases. This grant ensures equitable access to cutting-edge cancer research for diverse populations.

Description: | This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits applications for the program known as Minority-Based Community Clinical Oncology Program (Minority-Based CCOP/MBCCOP Group/MBCCOP). This program allows practicing oncologists who serve large racial/ethnic minority populations to participate in NCI-sponsored clinical trials. The purpose of this program is to support, as a national resource, research activities of physicians involved in the care of minorities who are eligible to participate in NCI-sponsored cancer prevention, control, and treatment clinical trials. The NCI clinical trials program supports MBCCOP Groups by providing access to clinical trials in cancer centers, major university centers, and community programs. The linkage of minority cancer patients/participants to the current NCI clinical trials network facilitates the transfer of new research advancements in cancer prevention/control/treatment practices to minority communities and their physicians. The CCOP Network consists of three components each with its own FOA. The components are as follows: Minority-Based CCOP Groups (covered by this FOA), CCOP Groups (also referred to as CCOPs), and CCOP Research Bases. A MBCCOP Group encompasses community oncologists who 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. |
