ALLIANCE CANCER CONTROL PROGRAM PILOT PROJECT AWARD

The Alliance is pleased to announce the availability of funds to support one
pilot or early career investigator award in the Cancer Control Program (CCP),
focusing on cancer prevention, risk assessment, screening, symptom intervention,
surveillance, health outcomes research, or specific population groups, including
minority and underserved, older adult, or adolescent and young adult
populations. The purpose of these awards is to generate preliminary data that
will lead to Alliance protocols. Funds are available from the Alliance NCORP
Research Base grant, which is supported by the NCI Division of Cancer Prevention
(DCP) and are available for projects that can be completed within one year.

Early career investigators are strongly encouraged to apply and may apply for
either a pilot award or an early career investigator award. Early career
investigator applicants may hold either an instructor or assistant professor
position within their institution and must be within 10 years of their first
faculty appointment as of February 1, 2024. Post-doctoral fellows must maintain
their fellowship for the entire one-year award period. Each early career
investigator award applicant must work with a mentor throughout that time,
allocating protected time to engage in training activities and conduct a
research project in the field of cancer prevention and control (as described
above). Early career investigator award applicants must also include a 1-page
detailed training plan.

Applicants, their respective institutions and mentors (if applicable) must be
Alliance members, and applicants must be a member of an Alliance CCP committee.
Interested applicants must submit a completed Eligibility Form to Jill Oliveri
(jill.oliveri@osumc.edu) by November 14, 2023 (5:00 pm Eastern Time) to confirm
institutional and individual Alliance membership, as well as CCP committee
membership (please use the link and form provided).

Eligible applicants will be invited to submit an application in the form of a
3-5 page concept to conduct a CCP pilot clinical trial. Proposals should be
written using 11-point (or larger) font in either Arial, Helvetica, Palatino
Linotype or Georgia typeface (black font color) with at least 0.5-inch margins
on all sides. Early career investigators may include one additional page with a
detailed description of training activities.

The concept should follow the following format: 

 * Title page (include address, phone number, and preferred email address for
   contact PI; include email address for all Co-PIs, type of award applying for
   – pilot or early career) (not included in page limit)
   * Early career investigators should include this information for their
     mentor, too.
 * Background (include rationale and significance)
 * Study objectives
 * Study plan (include schema and eligibility criteria)
 * Data analysis plan
 * Feasibility (provide evidence that study can reach accrual goal within 12
   months of the start of funding)
 * Description of how this pilot study will lead to an Alliance protocol in the
   future

 * Description of research environment
 * References (not included in page limit)
 * For early career investigators only:
   * Detailed description of training activities (limit 1 page, and is included
     in 6-page limit; failure to provide adequate description will negatively
     affect score)
   * Letter of support from the mentor committing time to mentor the applicant

In addition to the concept, applications should include a biographical sketch of
the PI(s) and mentor (if applicable), summary of Other Support for the PI(s) and
mentor (if applicable), and a budget (following the PHS 398 budget format,
including the Detailed Budget for Initial Budget Period AND the Checklist Form
page) that may request up to $150,000 in total costs (including institutional
indirect costs) over an 18-month period with a budget justification. Awardees
must budget for and attend at least one Alliance Group meeting to present the
results of their research. Funds not to exceed 10% may be requested for early
career investigator PI salary support; however, funds cannot be used for PI (or
co-investigator) salary support or salary support for Alliance Central Office
staff.

Use this checklist to ensure you are submitting a complete application.

Applications that propose to conduct the pilot trial as a multi-institutional
study (rather than as a single institution study), include an NCORP community or
minority/ underserved community site and have the potential to become a future
Alliance protocol will be given highest priority. Note: These pilot studies will
not be considered Alliance protocols, and as such, will not be assigned a
protocol number or be eligible for cancer control credits/reimbursements or
per-case payments for the participating site(s).

Complete applications must be submitted to Jill Oliveri via email
(jill.oliveri@osumc.edu) no later than December 11, 2023 (5:00 pm Eastern Time).
Approved projects will be funded with an anticipated budget start date of
February 1, 2024 and a budget end date of July 31, 2025.  Applicants are
strongly encouraged to submit their proposal to their local IRB for approval at
the time the application is submitted to the Alliance CCP for review to reduce
time to activation, if funded.  If the study is not activated within the first
12 months after funding is awarded, the study will be shut down.

If the submitted application is not adherent to the requirements described above
or if the submission is late, it will not be reviewed.

Answers to FAQ can be found here. Other questions about the application process
should be addressed to Jill Oliveri, DrPH, at jill.oliveri@osumc.edu or
614-293-8174.
