Clinical Cancer Therapy and Prevention Research Program Announcement: PA-04-046: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/ guide/pa-files/PA-04-046.html (expiration date 11/2/2006) Contact: Roy Wu, M.D. 301-496-8866, wur@ctep.nci.nih.gov This CTEP announcement will provide selected investigators with up to five years of support for new intervention studies and trials. At present, the traditional R01 research grant mechanism is underutilized by clinical investigators who perform translational research. CTEP has responded to this research gap by putting in place grants using the R01 mechanism to support translational clinical studies and trials. This initiative will encourage clinical investigators to conduct clinical therapeutic and preventive studies and trials that can move preclinical discoveries and advances in basic biology and drug development into the clinic. Correlative Studies Using Specimens from Multi-Institutional Treatment and Prevention Trials Program Announcement: PA-05-062: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/ guide/pa-files/pa-05-062.html (expiration date 3/2/2008) Contact: Roy Wu, M.D. 301-496-8866, wur@ctep.nci.nih.gov CTEP, along with the Cancer Diagnosis Program (CDP) and the Cancer Biomarkers Research Group (CBRG), cooperatively sponsors this funding opportunity to C U R R E N T F U N D I N G O P P O R T U N I T I E S support correlative studies that use tumor specimens collected during multiinstitutional clinical trials. This funding opportunity uses the R21 and R01 award mechanisms. Investigators who apply for funding should propose correlative studies that use trial-related tumor specimens to compare genetic variations and molecular changes and to monitor drug resistance, therapeutic effectiveness, and patient outcomes. These studies should evaluate new cancer interventions by using these tumor tissue resources and accumulated clinical trial results for better cancer risk assessment, early detection, and prediction of response to various cancer therapies and prevention strategies.
