Grant Description

Purpose. This limited competition Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), solicits renewal applications for the support of the Cooperative Group Banks (CGBs). CGBs were established to collect, store, and distribute well-annotated human specimens from patients with cancer who are participating in NCI-funded Phase III and large Phase II clinical treatment trials. This FOA is designed to continue support of the infrastructure of the CGBs and to provide access for qualified investigators to the specimens with associated high-quality, clinical, treatment and outcome data that are critical for developing and validating biomarkers for diagnoses, prognoses, and predictions of responses of cancer patients to therapies.
