What the grant funds

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), issued by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), is to invite competing continuation applications for cooperative agreement awards from current recipients of the NCI-supported Cooperative Human Tissue Network (CHTN). CHTN with all individual CHTN recipients (referred to as CHTN Divisions) collectively form the CHTN national resource. Presently, the organizational structure of the Network comprises six Divisions. The goal of the CHTN is to collect and distribute to investigators high-quality human tissue specimens to facilitate basic and translational cancer research. Such specimens may be needed for scientific discovery and the development of various molecular diagnostic tests, and prognostic or predictive assays. The CHTN is designed as a unique biospecimen resource in that it is based on the prospective collection and distribution of samples upon specific investigators requests. Samples to be collected from patients include pre-cancerous, malignant, and benign neoplastic tissues, as well as tissues with non-neoplastic diseases and normal tissues. Since its establishment by the NCI in 1987, the CHTN has provided more than 1,350,000 malignant, benign, diseased, and uninvolved (normal adjacent) high-quality human tissue specimens from a wide variety of organ sites to over four thousand investigators.
