White paper submissions sought for NIH program

The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research is soliciting white papers for the National Institute of Health’s (NIH) National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Cancer Screening Research Network. The objective of the NCI program is to provide infrastructure to develop the Cancer Screening Research Network (CSRN).

Through this program, the CSRN conducts multi-center cancer screening trials and studies. This Network is designed to take advantage of large and diverse populations receiving routine care in a variety of healthcare settings. The CSRN will engage these populations in rigorous studies focused on cancer screening to improve early cancer detection and evaluate emerging cancer screening modalities with the ultimate goal of reducing cancer incidence, and cancer-related morbidity and mortality.

More information about the program and submission process is available in the linked Google doc. Submissions are due by Dec. 16, 2022.
