The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is preparing to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the NCI National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN) - Network Group Operations Centers, which will require a U10 clinical trial. This initiative aims to provide scientific leadership for the development and implementation of multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional clinical trials targeting various cancer types and populations, focusing on late-phase treatment trials and advanced imaging studies. The NCTN plays a crucial role in conducting comprehensive clinical research for patients of all ages with cancer, including preliminary studies for definitive trials. The estimated total program funding is $99,300,000, with the NOFO expected to be published in Fall 2024 and applications due by late February 2025. For further details, interested applicants should prepare their proposals in advance of the anticipated timeline.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) intends to issue a U10 NCI National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN) &#65533; Network Group Operations Centers notice of funding opportunity (NOFO). The NCTN Network Group Operations Centers will provide scientific leadership for developing and implementing multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional trials in a range of cancer types and special populations with specific scientific strategy and goals. The primary goal of the NCTN is the conduct of multi-center, late-phase, clinical treatment trials (i.e., randomized phase 2 and phase 3 trials) and advanced imaging trials across a broad range of cancers, modalities, and diverse patient populations as part of the NCI&apos;s overall clinical research program for adults, adolescents and young adults, and children with cancer. The NCTN also conducts, as necessary, preliminary studies needed for development of definitive trials, especially umbrella/basket trials and rare tumor trials, when an extensive, national patient catchment area is required. This Notice of Intent to Publish is being provided to allow sufficient time for applicants to develop strong applications. The NOFO is expected to be published in Fall 2024 with only one expected application due date in late February 2025. &#65533;
