RAPID ACCESS TO INTERVENTION DEVELOPMENT Release Date: May 11, 1998 P.T. National Cancer Institute The National Cancer Institute (NCI) announces a new initiative: Rapid Access to Intervention Development (RAID). RAID will make available to academic investigators the preclinical development contract resources of NCI s Developmental Therapeutics Program. The goal of RAID is the rapid movement of novel molecules and concepts from the laboratory to the clinic for proof-of- principle clinical trials. RAID will assist investigators who submit successful requests by providing any (or all) of the pre-clinical developmental requirements for clinical translation. These include, for example, production, bulk supply, GMP manufacturing, formulation, and toxicology. Suitable types of agents for RAID include small molecules, biologics, or vaccines. For more detailed information, visit the web site, http://dtp.nci.nih.gov/docs/raid/raid_index.html. Requests for RAID resources are to be submitted as described in the web site. Written requests will be evaluated by a specially constituted RAID panel, consisting of selected NCI staff and outside experts from academia and industry. The first group of requests will be received by August 1, 1998. Thereafter, there will be two receipt dates per year, February 1 and August 1, with all materials submitted directly to the office listed under INQUIRIES. INQUIRIES Inquiries are encouraged, and the opportunity to clarify issues or questions is welcome. Inquiries may be directed to: RAID Developmental Therapeutics Program National Cancer Institute 6130 Executive Boulevard, Suite 843 Bethesda, MD 20892 Rockville, MD 20852 (for express/courier service) Telephone: (301) 496-8720 FAX: (301) 402-0831 Email: sausville@dtpax2.ncifcrf.gov
