The Joint NCI/SPORE/P20 Program supports SPORE and P20 awardees in expanding clinical trials to advance patient-centric translational cancer research without duplicating SPORE-funded work.
Funder: Gateway for Cancer Research
Due Dates: November 6, 2026 (letter of intent, tentative) | Full application (deadline in invitation)
Funding Amounts: —
Summary: Supports patient-centric translational cancer research by expanding clinical trials associated with NCI SPORE and P20 awards.
Key Information: Gateway-funded work cannot duplicate the scope of work of the SPORE award.
Gateway for Cancer Research collaborates with the National Cancer Institute through the Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPORE)/P20 Program to support patient-centric translational cancer research through clinical trials. The program seeks proposals from SPORE and P20 awardees to extend a clinical study rather than repeat work funded by a SPORE award.
Proposed extensions may add a trial arm or new patient cohorts, generate new correlative analyses, or increase the sample size by enrolling additional patients. Gateway makes awards through its own application and review process.
