Opportunity Summary:
The Community Clinical Oncology Program Research Bases (U10) opportunity (RFA-CA-10-011) is a National Cancer Institute (NCI), NIH funding announcement inviting applications from qualified institutions to serve as a Research Base within the NCI-supported Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP) Network. The central aim of CCOP is to expand the reach and quality of cancer clinical research by developing and running state-of-the-art clinical trials in cancer prevention, cancer control, and cancer treatment, while ensuring meaningful participation by community oncologists and the patient populations they care for. In practical terms, this program is meant to move high-quality clinical trials beyond large academic hospitals and into community settings, so that more patients can access trials and the results better reflect real-world populations.
CCOP is structured as a network with three interconnected components, each covered by its own funding announcement: CCOP Groups (community-based oncologists and practices that enroll patients onto NCI-approved trials), Minority-Based CCOPs (similar groups operating in communities with a high proportion of minority patients, focusing on improving minority participation in trials), and CCOP Research Bases (the focus of this FOA). The Research Base role is the hub of trial creation and execution: Research Bases design and conduct the clinical trials, provide the operational leadership to run them across the network, manage and analyze the resulting data, and disseminate findings through reporting and publication. In other words, Groups and Minority-Based Groups are primarily responsible for accruing participants, while Research Bases are responsible for the scientific and operational backbone that makes those trials possible and ensures they are rigorously analyzed and reported.
A key structural requirement is that CCOP Research Bases must be located either at an NCI-supported Clinical Cooperative Group or at an NCI-designated Cancer Center. This reflects the expectation that applicants already have the scientific infrastructure, cooperative group relationships, regulatory experience, and data management capacity needed to develop multicenter trials and oversee high-quality execution. Because the CCOP network components are funded through parallel announcements, applicants for a Research Base are expected to understand how their responsibilities connect with the community-based enrolling sites. The announcement explicitly notes related FOAs for the other components: RFA-CA-10-010 for CCOP Groups and RFA-CA-10-012 for Minority-Based CCOP Groups, and emphasizes that Research Base applicants should familiarize themselves with those companion opportunities to align expectations, workflows, and network functioning.
Funding is provided through the NIH U10 cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning this is an assistance award with substantial federal scientific and/or programmatic involvement. Compared with a traditional grant, a cooperative agreement typically involves closer collaboration with NCI on program priorities, trial oversight, performance expectations, and coordination across the network. The NCI anticipated making one award under this specific solicitation, with up to $1.5 million in total costs committed in fiscal year 2011, indicating a single, competitively selected Research Base to carry out the required leadership, trial development, coordination, data operations, and reporting functions for the CCOP network activities covered by the award.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations, such as public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations, and a variety of mission-focused institutions and community-based entities. The eligibility list explicitly includes Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, eligible federal agencies, and U.S. territories or possessions. Despite the broad eligibility categories, applicants still must meet the specific program requirement that the Research Base be located at an NCI-supported Clinical Cooperative Group or an NCI-designated Cancer Center.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted July 16, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 16, 2010, and an archive date of October 17, 2010. It is categorized as discretionary funding and aligns with NIH cancer-related CFDA listings spanning prevention, detection and diagnosis, treatment, biology, and control research (93.393, 93.394, 93.395, 93.396, 93.399). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. The full announcement was made available through the NIH grants guide, with technical access support routed through the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contacts.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the CCOP Research Bases (U10) funding opportunity?
This opportunity (RFA-CA-10-011) is a National Cancer Institute (NCI), NIH funding announcement inviting applications from qualified institutions to serve as a Research Base within the NCI-supported Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP) Network.
What is the main goal of the Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP)?
The central aim of CCOP is to expand the reach and quality of cancer clinical research by developing and running state-of-the-art clinical trials in cancer prevention, cancer control, and cancer treatment, while ensuring meaningful participation by community oncologists and the patient populations they care for.
Why does CCOP emphasize community settings for clinical trials?
CCOP is designed to move high-quality clinical trials beyond large academic hospitals and into community settings so more patients can access trials and so trial results better reflect real-world patient populations.
What are the three main components of the CCOP network?
CCOP is structured as a network with three interconnected components: CCOP Groups, Minority-Based CCOPs, and CCOP Research Bases (the focus of this funding opportunity). Each component is covered by its own funding announcement.
What does a CCOP Research Base do?
The Research Base serves as the hub of trial creation and execution. Research Bases design and conduct clinical trials, provide operational leadership to run them across the network, manage and analyze resulting data, and disseminate findings through reporting and publication.
How do CCOP Groups and Minority-Based CCOP Groups differ from Research Bases?
CCOP Groups and Minority-Based CCOP Groups are primarily responsible for accruing (enrolling) participants onto NCI-approved trials. Research Bases provide the scientific and operational backbone that enables those trials to be developed, coordinated, analyzed, and reported.
Where must a CCOP Research Base be located?
A key requirement is that a CCOP Research Base must be located either at an NCI-supported Clinical Cooperative Group or at an NCI-designated Cancer Center.
Why is there a location requirement for Research Bases?
