NOTICE OF LIMITED COMPETITION REQUEST FOR COMPETING APPLICATIONS: NCI 
COOPERATIVE BREAST CANCER TISSUE REGISTRY

Release Date:  August 30, 2002

NOTICE: NOT-CA-02-024

National Cancer Institute (NCI)
 (http://cancer.gov)

The NCI is requesting competing renewal applications from the four 
participating institutions of the NCI Cooperative Breast Cancer Tissue 
Registry (CBCTR) which was last re-competed in 1998.   This re-
competition will continue a unique ongoing project at a reduced level 
and scope for a limited time.  The NCI wants to maintain the current 
size and structure of the CBCTR since an organizational change would 
reduce the number and change the composition of cases currently 
available to the research community.  Maintaining the current cases is 
particularly important now because the CBCTR is providing tissue micro-
arrays with these tissue specimens and any change in its composition 
would seriously hamper research that depends on access to those 
specimens and data.  Continued availability of the more than 9,000 
cases already accessioned to the Resource is also critical to the NCI's 
ability to evaluate the Resource's scientific impact during the next 
three years.  

NCI staff will contact the current grantees directly regarding 
application procedures and format.
