The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is offering this grant to establish Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) Minority/Underserved Community Sites. This grant is for creating a unified national network for community-based cancer research, building upon previous NCI initiatives. NCORP aims to design and conduct clinical trials focused on cancer prevention, control, screening, and post-treatment surveillance. It also supports cancer care delivery research and seeks to enhance patient and provider access to treatment and imaging clinical trials through the National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN). A key purpose is to integrate disparity research questions into all clinical trials and cancer care delivery research efforts.

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications from institutions/organizations to participate in NCI’s Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) as NCORP Minority/Underserved Community Sites. The goal of NCORP is to build upon the scope and activities of NCI’s previously supported community networks, the Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP) which includes CCOP community sites (CCOPs), Minority-Based CCOP sites (MB-CCOPs), and CCOP Research Bases, and NCI’s Community Cancer Centers’ Program (NCCCP) by establishing a single community-based research program. NCORP will be an integrated national network to: 1) design and conduct cancer prevention, control and screening/post-treatment surveillance clinical trials; 2) design and conduct cancer care delivery research; 3) enhance patient and provider access to treatment and imaging clinical trials conducted under the reorganized National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN); and 4) integrate disparity research questions into clinical trials and cancer care delivery research. |
