What the grant funds

The FY22 BCRP Clinical Research Extension Award aims to extend the data collection, follow- up, and analysis of breast cancer clinical research studies. The intent of this mechanism is to increase the clinically relevant impact of breast cancer patient participation in clinical research by addressing the knowledge lost due to limited or early termination of patient follow-up and sample collection and analysis. The critical components of this award mechanism are: Impact: Research supported by the FY22 BCRP Clinical Research Extension Award will have the potential for a major impact and accelerate progress toward ending breast cancer. Applications are expected to identify the breast cancer patients or at-risk individuals who would ultimately benefit from the proposed research. Research Scope: Although not all-inclusive, research proposed under the FY22 BCRP Clinical Research Extension Award may entail a deeper molecular analysis of clinical samples, initiation of new correlative studies, biomarker validation, or continuing clinical follow-up of patients currently/previously enrolled in an open/ongoing or completed clinical trial. The proposed research may be hypothesis testing/generating or may be designed to generate clinically annotated and molecularly characterized experimental platforms, including patient-derived models or tissue arrays. The award may not be used to directly support a clinical trial. Feasibility: Preliminary data to support the scientific rationale and feasibility of the research approaches are required. Applications are strongly encouraged to also describe the clinical relevance of the proposed research. The applicant must demonstrate availability of, and accessibility to, the necessary resources or populations to accomplish the proposed research. Data Evaluation and Sharing: Proposed research should be based on study sample size that will ensure that the results support valid conclusions and further translation towards clinical application. It is the applicant’s responsibility to provide sufficient evidence that the sample size is appropriate to meet the study's objectives. The applicant must outline a plan to share the experimental platforms and molecular data generated from the proposed research with the scientific community. Partnering PI Option: The FY22 BCRP Clinical Research Extension Award encourages applications that include meaningful and productive collaborations between investigators.
