Grant Description

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support the Cancer Research Network (CRN), a research resource consortium involving as "Members" research organizations within several non-profit Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs). Originally, CRN was focused on collaborative research made possible through integrated access to clinical datasets from the participating institutions. This FOA uses a different funding mechanism and redefines the role of CRN as a broader resource for cancer researchers at large. The uniqueness of CRN as a cancer resource stems from: (1) the integrated access to clinical data for large, stable, and diverse patient populations that are available through the "parent" HMOs; and (2) the expertise of CRN researchers in conducting clinical cancer research involving large sets of clinical data.
