Description

This forecasted opportunity supports clinician scientists who contribute to NCI-funded clinical trials through leadership in trial development, implementation at their institutions, and service to NCI clinical trials networks (e.g., participation in scientific review and monitoring committees). The award aims to provide salary support and career stability for these key contributors, ensuring their continued involvement in the clinical trials enterprise without requiring them to serve as principal investigators on research project grants. The program is designed to foster autonomy and reduce dependence on other NCI grants or external funding sources for career continuity in cancer research.
