Opportunity Information: Apply for PAR 18 559
The Cancer Prevention and Control Clinical Trials Grant Program (R01 Clinical Trial Required), Funding Opportunity Number PAR-18-559, is a National Institutes of Health opportunity administered by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). It supports investigator-initiated clinical trials that align with the scientific priorities of two NCI units: the Division of Cancer Prevention and the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences. In practical terms, the program is meant to fund rigorous, research-driven clinical trials that test interventions, strategies, or approaches that can meaningfully reduce the overall burden of cancer.
The FOA is specifically focused on hypothesis-driven clinical trials, meaning applicants are expected to propose studies built around a clear, testable scientific premise rather than exploratory or loosely defined activities. Applications should lay out well-defined aims and objectives and describe how the trial will generate actionable evidence. The overarching expectation is that the funded work will contribute to improvements in at least one major area of cancer prevention and control, such as expanding knowledge relevant to prevention and control, improving early detection and diagnosis, strengthening cancer prevention approaches, enhancing healthcare delivery, or improving quality of life and survivorship outcomes for people affected by cancer. A major emphasis of the announcement is impact: studies should be positioned not only to advance science, but also to have a realistic pathway to influencing clinical practice and/or public health.
This is an R01 grant mechanism, which generally implies substantial, multi-year support for a clearly articulated research plan with strong justification, a capable team, and appropriate infrastructure for conducting a clinical trial. The “Clinical Trial Required” designation is important because it indicates the FOA is intended for applications that include a clinical trial component, rather than purely observational, basic science, or non-trial research. The activity categories listed for the opportunity are Education and Health, and the CFDA numbers associated with it are 93.393 and 93.399, both tied to NCI programs.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that can sponsor or conduct clinical research. Eligible applicants listed include state, county, city, township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; tribal organizations that are not federally recognized; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education under that category); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. The FOA also explicitly highlights additional eligible groups such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions; Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs); Hispanic-serving Institutions; Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs); Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs); faith-based or community-based organizations; eligible federal agencies; regional organizations; U.S. territories or possessions; and non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations). This wide eligibility reflects an intent to encourage participation from diverse institutions and communities and to support research that can be relevant across different populations and settings.
From the source information provided, the opportunity was created on 2018-01-05 and shows an original closing date of 2020-11-12, with award ceiling and expected awards not specified in the excerpt. Overall, the program is designed to move evidence-based cancer prevention and control forward by funding well-designed clinical trials that can improve detection, prevention, care delivery, and survivorship, with a clear line of sight to real-world clinical or public health benefit.Apply for PAR 18 559
