Sustained Support for Informatics Technologies for Cancer Research and Management (U24 Clinical Trial Optional)

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is soliciting applications for the continued development and sustainment of high-value informatics research resources to improve the acquisition, management, analysis, and dissemination of data and knowledge across the cancer research continuum. This includes cancer biology, cancer treatment and diagnosis, early cancer detection, risk assessment and prevention, cancer control, and epidemiology. The central mission of the Informatics Technology for Cancer Research (ITCR) Program is to promote research-driven informatics technology across the development lifecycle to address priority needs in cancer research. Key aspects of this opportunity include: • Evidence that the technology has had significant impact on cancer research to date and the sustainment plan will lead to the continued advancement of cancer research • Robust plans for supporting the end-user community, including documentation, training, and other outreach activities • Clear processes for engaging end users to address emerging needs of the targeted research communities to ensure that the research resource maintains relevance to the research it supports
