Part 2. Full Text of Announcement

Section I. Notice of Funding Opportunity Description

NCI is particularly interested in projects that include rigorous trials focused on chronic pain in cancer patients. Populations of interest include both older patients currently undergoing cancer treatment or cancer-related palliative care or cancer survivors experiencing chronic pain related to cancer treatment. The pain conditions of interest include cancer-related pain, such as metastatic and bone cancer pain, and treatment-related pain, such as peripheral neuropathy or post-surgical pain. NCI is also particularly interested in trials that target minority older adults and cancer patients with comorbidities that often preclude them from participating in clinical trials.
