Description
This program funds Veterans Health Administration (VA) Medical Centers to form or enhance Storefront memberships—collaborative consortia coordinated by a central hub—to increase veteran access to cancer clinical trials within the NCTN and NCORP networks. Storefronts allow multiple VA centers to share administrative resources, expertise, and participant accruals, enabling sites with limited resources or experience to access and contribute to cutting-edge oncology research. The initiative is designed to build sustainable infrastructure, foster collaboration, and ultimately improve cancer care access for veterans.
