Cancer Prevention and Control Clinical Trials Planning Grant Program (R34)
Funds the same preparatory work before a cancer prevention trial, as an ordinary grant rather than a cooperative agreement.
This is the companion to the National Cancer Institute's trial planning cooperative agreement. Same purpose, same science, different relationship with the institute.
The problem it addresses is the one that stops trials finishing. The literature justifies the trial, but critical detail is missing — the study population, accrual challenges, the intervention, the outcomes and endpoints, the data an…
Planning grants for preparatory studies before a cancer prevention and control clinical trial is finalised — study population, accrual, intervention, endpoints, statistical and data challenges and operational risks — and feasibility testing of low-infrastructure trial designs, across prevention and interception, health behaviours, screening, early detection, healthcare delivery, symptom management, supportive care and survivorship. Clinical trials are optional.
