The FY24 LCRP Translational Research Award mechanism supports advanced translational research that will foster transformation of promising ideas in lung cancer into clinical applications. Translational research may be defined as an integration of basic science and clinical observations. Observations that drive a research idea may originate from a laboratory discovery, population-based studies, or a clinicians firsthand knowledge of patient care. The ultimate goal of translational research is to move a concept or observation forward into clinical application. However, Principal Investigators (PIs) should not view translational research as a one-way continuum from bench to bedside but can include a reciprocal flow of ideas and information between basic science and clinical science (bench to bedside and/or bedside to bench). Research applications only in the area of mesothelioma will not be accepted. This mechanism is intended to fund a broad range of translational studies with two different funding levels. The following are general examples, although not all-inclusive, of the type of research projects that would be appropriate to propose under the current program announcement:Funding Level 1: Advanced preclinical studies aimed at translating results from animal studies to applications with human samples/cohorts (The Translational Research Award is not intended to support initial mechanistic studies of a new target.) Late-stage preclinical work leading to/preparing for a clinical trial, e.g., Investigational New Drug (IND) application submission Correlative studies that are associated with an open/ongoing or completed clinical trial, e.g., projects that utilize biospecimens from clinical trials to improve clinical management of lung cancer and/or define new areas of research Projects that develop endpoints for clinical trialsFunding Level 2 Pilot clinical trials where limited clinical testing (e.g., small sample size) of a novel intervention is necessary to inform the next step in the continuum of translational researchPreliminary lung cancer relevant data to support the feasibility of the research hypotheses and research approaches are required.

The Patient-Centered Outcomes and Survivorship Award supports high-risk, high-reward research studies that span the spectrum of behavioral health science, survivorship, health outcomes and comparative effectiveness research, including quality of life, symptom and side effect management, resilience, co-morbid conditions, and examining the physical, psychological, social, and economic effects of lung cancer among patients and their families.The overall intent of the FY24 LCRP Patient-Centered Outcomes and Survivorship Award is to promote evidence-based and patient-centered approaches to improve health and lung cancer related outcomes and enhance the patient experience in defined populations. Research studies may include, but are not limited to:Studies to examine and improve quality of life, decision-making, and symptom and side effect management (e.g., toxicity of treatment, palliative/supportive care, psychological distress and anxiety).Studies to investigate the impact of prevention, diagnostics, treatment, or health care delivery approaches on health outcomes.Studies to assess the relationship(s) between behavioral, cognitive, and/or social functioning in relation to lung cancer detection, initiation, progression, treatment, and rehabilitation.Studies into the psychological health and well-being of those affected by lung cancer (e.g., patients, family members).Development and testing for efficacy of lifestyle interventions and symptom management approaches to minimize disease risk and maximize quality of life.Key aspects of this award mechanism are:Impact: The Patient-Centered Outcomes and Survivorship Award is intended to support research that demonstrates the potential to have a major impact on patient outcomes. Research should challenge paradigms with respect to impact on patient care and outcomes. Proposed projects may include translational or clinical research, including pilot clinical trials. Impactful research will accelerate the movement of promising ideas into clinical applications, generate knowledge to improve clinical guidelines, or significantly advance behavioral, cognitive, and/or social functioning related to the target population.Study Design: Applications should clearly articulate the chosen design of the study. Basic studies should demonstrate research strategy, feasibility, and how the study relates to the human experience with lung cancer. Studies entailing retrospective or prospective recruitment should define the type of architecture of the study (e.g., descriptive, correlational, field experimental, meta-analyses). Study populations should be defined. The rationale should support the chosen study design with statistical evaluation to back the design. Questionnaires should be described in sufficient detail to justify interpretation of potential results.Preliminary Data: The Patient-Centered Outcomes and Survivorship Award requires preliminary data for all studies that propose the active (prospective) recruitment of human subjects. Studies not proposing active recruitment of human subjects are not required to present preliminary data but should be supported by sound reasoning and relevant literature.Patient Advocate Participation: Applications to the Patient-Centered Outcomes and Survivorship Award funding opportunity are encouraged to include a patient advocate. As part of the research team, the patient advocate would assist in the development of the research question, project design, oversight, recruitment, and evaluation, as well as other significant aspects of the proposed project. The patient advocate will be a person with a history of lung cancer diagnosis. As a lay representative, the patient advocate should be active in a cancer advocacy organization. Interactions with other team members should be well integrated and ongoing, not limited to attending seminars and semi-annual meetings. The role of the patient advocate should be focused on providing objective input on the research and its potential impact for individuals with or at risk for lung cancer.

Subject: Jordan RFI/SSN: Prevent, Detect, Respond - Primary Health Care (PDR-PHC) ActivityThe United States Agency for International Development in Jordan (USAID/Jordan) Mission isgathering information for a potential Global Health Security (GHS) activity. The Activity willinclude a package of interventions to strengthen biosecurity and safety, address antimicrobialresistance (AMR), and prevent and respond to emerging threats through building One Healthcapacities that incorporate linkages between human, animal, and environmental health.Through focusing its interventions at the primary healthcare level, the activity will strengthenhealth provider practices, health system preparedness, multi-sectoral coordination, andsurveillance capabilities to 1) prevent avoidable disease outbreaks, 2) detect threats early, 3)respond rapidly and effectively when outbreaks occur.This RFI/SSN seeks responses to the below inquiries as well as information on the availability,interest, and diverse capacities of GHS-focused entities to carry out such tasks and theirability to collaborate with local entities.This RFI/SSN is issued solely for information and planning purposes. It is NOT a Request forProposal (RFP), nor Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), and in no way obligates the U.S.Government to issue an RFP/NOFO and/or award a contract/grant or pay for any informationsubmitted as a result of this request. If a solicitation is issued, all necessary information willbe supplied at the time it is posted at grants.gov or sam.gov.
