AI Contract Overview

The National Cancer Institute Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) Academic Community Sites initiative, under solicitation RFA-CA-27-008, seeks to establish consortia led by academic centers and a network of community healthcare providers. The program aims to enhance the generalizability of cancer research by engaging diverse patient populations in rigorous studies focused on cancer control, prevention, treatment, and care delivery. These Academic Community Sites are designed to improve participant representativeness in clinical trials and human subject research, while providing critical infrastructure to support accrual across affiliate organizations. The National Cancer Institute intends to commit 73 million dollars in FY 2027 for up to 50 awards, with applicants required to request a six-year project period. Eligible applicants include small businesses and other for-profit organizations, provided they maintain active registrations in SAM, eRA Commons, and Grants.gov. Funding is structured based on per-patient accrual categories, ranging from 50 dollars for special entry credits up to 6,000 dollars for CTEP IND intervention treatment trials, with an additional 10 to 30 percent allowed for coordination costs. Applications are due by September 18, 2026, and must include detailed accrual tables, a data sharing plan, and evidence of institutional commitment. Evaluation is based on the significance of the project, its ability to contribute to NCORP goals, and the benefit derived from the specific community oncology settings and catchment area. Awardees must comply with FDA and OHRP regulatory requirements, maintain strict HIPAA confidentiality standards, and implement a cybersecurity incident response plan.
