Notice of Intent to Publish a Funding Opportunity Announcement for Limited Competition: NCI National Clinical Trials Network - Network Group Statistics and Data Management Centers (U10 Clinical Trial Required)

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) intends to issue a U10 NCI National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN) Network Group Statistics and Data Management Center notice of funding opportunity (NOFO). The NCTN Network Group Statistics and Data Management Centers will provide statistical expertise for effective scientific design, conduct, and data management of clinical trials led by the associated NCTN Network Group Operations Center as well as for translational and other ancillary studies associated with the trials. The primary goal of the NCTN is the conduct of multi-center, late-phase, clinical treatment trials (i.e., randomized phase 2 and phase 3 trials) and advanced imaging trials across a broad range of cancers, modalities, and diverse patient populations as part of the NCI's overall clinical research program for adults, adolescents and young adults, and children with cancer. The NCTN also conducts, as necessary, preliminary studies needed for development of definitive trials, especially umbrella/basket trials and rare tumor trials, when an extensive, national patient catchment area is required. This Notice of Intent to Publish is being provided to allow sufficient time for applicants to develop strong applications. The NOFO is expected to be published in Fall 2024 with only one expected application due date in late February 2025.
