Special BIQSFP Funding Announcement for Non-real Time Integrated Studies for NCTN & NCORP Trials
The NCI has announced the opportunity to submit for supplements to fund non-real time (NRT) integrated studies associated with NCTN or NCORP-supported studies. Each group is allowed to submit up to 3 proposals for NCTN and up to 2 proposals for NCORP. Please see attached for full details and eligibility.
We will select the most relevant and highly feasible proposals which meet program guidelines. To make this most efficient, we developed the following process and deadlines to support selecting the proposals we will submit to NCI:
1. Please submit an abstract (as an attached PDF) of your proposal by 8 AM ET on 4/24/2023 to:
In the email, please note:
-
Contact name and email related to the submission
- A brief statement related to any feasibility issues – strengths or weakness associated with conduct of the proposed research. NRG reviewers will weigh the likelihood of completion of the project within the BIQ timeline – the NCI is clear this has to be done within the year; funds are only available within that timeframe.
2. NRG will assess the submissions as follows:
- For feasibility (Are data/samples available? Is study at least 75% complete? Can this reasonably be done within the required timeline? Is the proposal statistically sound?)
- For committees with multiple submissions, we will ask the committee chair to prioritize the committee’s submissions.
- For overall fit for the funding program
3. The NRG Research Strategy Committee Chair and Vice Chairs will assess the applications for scientific relevance and significance. Balanced with feasibility, they will rank the submissions in order to select those NRG will submit.
4. We will communicate the results of the review on/by May 8, 2023.
5. Applicants approved for submission will be assigned an Operations Center liaison that they will work with to develop the budget and the required submission materials. Intermediate deadlines will be determined by the Operations Center liaison. The forms that will be required for the complete application and instructions can be downloaded from the NCI BIQSFP website.
6. The Final Application must be submitted to the NRG Grants and Contracts office no later than May 31. NRG will process and submit the final application to the NCI.
Please forward this announcement to colleagues as appropriate.
