Statistical support for database analyses; funds paid directly to SWOG Statistical Center; number of awards contingent on available funding.

Provides SWOG researchers with statistical support to conduct secondary analyses of clinical trial and linked data to improve cancer care and address disparities.

--- ## Description The Secondary Data Analysis program, offered by The Hope Foundation for Cancer Research, is designed to support SWOG investigators in conducting comprehensive database analyses. The program provides essential statistical support for projects utilizing SWOG clinical trials data, either independently or in combination with other data sources such as registries (e.g., SEER) or claims data (e.g., SEER-Medicare). The overarching goal is to improve cancer care quality and reduce healthcare disparities through rigorous clinical, epidemiologic, and translational research. Projects are selected via a competitive, peer-reviewed process and must align with SWOG’s research mission. --- ## Due Dates - Ongoing (applicants may submit at any time) --- ## Funding Amount - The award provides statistical support for approved secondary data analysis projects. - All funds are paid directly to the SWOG Statistical Center; no direct funds to individual investigators. - The number of awards is limited and contingent upon available funding each year. --- ## Eligibility - Applicants must be SWOG investigators eligible for NIH funding. - Priority is given to investigators who are active participants in SWOG activities. - Awardees must present their work at one or more semiannual SWOG group meetings and adhere to SWOG policies and procedures. - Applicants may submit more than one application if each project is scientifically distinct. --- ## Application Process - Applications are submitted through The Hope Foundation’s [Secondary Data Analysis program page](https://thehopefoundation.org/funding-opportunities/secondary-data-analysis). - Required application materials: - Cover Letter (1 page) introducing the project and PI/PD’s relationship to SWOG - Research/Analysis Plan (1 page, specifying variables, outcomes, and data sources) - Biographical Sketch for key personnel (up to 5 pages, NIH format) - Other Support Form (as applicable) - Applications must be uploaded as a single PDF (max 50 MB). - Incomplete applications are not eligible for review. - Error correction window: 48 hours from submission. --- ## Additional Information - Projects are expected to be completed within one year. - A manuscript should be prepared within 90 days after analysis completion; otherwise, the project may be reassigned. - Scoring follows NIH peer review criteria (1–9 scale), with emphasis on feasibility and alignment with SWOG’s mission. - All funds are administered directly to the SWOG Statistical Center, not to individual investigators. --- ## External Links - [Secondary Data Analysis Program Page](https://thehopefoundation.org/funding-opportunities/secondary-data-analysis) - [Request for Applications PDF (2022)](https://thehopefoundation.org/app/uploads/2022/02/Secondary-Data-Analysis-Projects-RFA-2.2022.pdf) - [SWOG Cancer Research Network](https://www.swog.org) - [NCTN/NCORP Data Archive](https://nctn-data-archive.nci.nih.gov/) --- ## Contact Information | Name | Title | Email | Phone | |---------------------|----------------------------------------|--------------------------------------|-----------------| | Johanna Horn | President & CEO, The Hope Foundation | jo@thehopefoundation.org | (734) 998-6888 | | General Inquiries | — | [Contact Form](https://thehopefoundation.org/contact/) | (734) 492-0277 |
