FOA Purpose |
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage basic biologic research on damage to the peripheral nervous system instigated by pharmacologic cancer treatments, known as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). The majority of acquired peripheral neuropathy research has focused on diabetic and inherited diseases; this FOA intends to stimulate neuroscience researchers to apply their expertise from studying these other neuropathies to the injuries incurred by cancer treatments. More data is necessary to understand the mechanisms of neuronal damage and to identify the targets instrumental to CIPN initiation and maintenance. Preclinical research that focuses not only on peripheral neuropathic pain but also on neurosensory symptoms such as paresthesias and peripheral anesthesias is invited. The ultimate goal of this FOA is to lead to a molecular understanding of CIPN that allows for the rational development of interventions that will treat or prevent CIPN. |

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage basic biologic research on chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), i.e., damage to the peripheral nervous system induced by pharmacologic cancer treatments. Research on peripheral neuropathy is mainly focused on nerve damage associated with diabetes and inherited neuropathies and the area of CIPN remains understudied. This FOA is intended to stimulate neuroscience researchers to apply their expertise for researching the functional and structural peripheral nerve damage incurred by cancer treatments. More studies are necessary to understand the mechanisms of neuronal damage and to identify potential therapeutic targets instrumental to CIPN initiation and maintenance. Preclinical research proposals that focus on peripheral neuropathic pain and other neurosensory symptoms such as paresthesias and peripheral anesthesia are invited. Projects proposed in response to this FOA are expected to significantly enhance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of CIPN to facilitate the rational development of interventions to prevent and treat CIPN.
This FOA will utilize the Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant (R21) award mechanism, and is suitable for projects where proof-of-principle of the proposed technology or methodology has already been established. This FOA runs in parallel with an FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-12-082, which utilizes the Research Project Grant (R01) mechanism.
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN is thought to be the most prevalent dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) from anti-cancer therapy, surpassing myelosuppression and renal insufficiency. Platinum drugs, taxanes, proteasome inhibitors, vinca alkaloids, epothilones, and immunomodulators are classes of agents which pose substantial risk for CIPN. These agents are also the standard of care for the six most common malignancies, with an estimated 2010 incidence of 994, 680 cases for these six cancers. Therapeutic clinical trials indicate a wide CIPN incidence range, from 25 to 100%, with symptoms lasting months to years. Therefore, several hundred thousand patients per year are at risk of experiencing any grade of CIPN, with subsequent effects on cancer treatment dosing, patient function, and quality of life. The number of cancer survivors living with CIPN is unknown.
The incidence of CIPN is expected to increase. As novel anti-cancer targeted therapies emerge, it is apparent during the early stages of drug development that some agents, such as JAK2 inhibitors, can cause neurologic perturbations. For example, the biologic agent brentuximab vedotin, which was recently approved by the FDA for certain types of refractory lymphoma, is associated with a 40% incidence of all grades of peripheral neuropathy, with a 13% incidence of severe grade 3/4 neuropathy. Thus, treatment-induced neuropathy is not confined to older cytotoxic drugs and is expected to occur even with molecularly targeted and biologic agents. In addition, as the population ages, more elderly patients will be receiving full doses of neuropathy-inducing chemotherapeutics. As cancer treatment plans become more complex with combinations of several cytotoxic agents, longer overall treatment courses, and combinations with targeted therapies, CIPN will continue to be a problem in the future. There are no FDA-approved interventions or prevention strategies, which highlights the need for research in the field of CIPN.
The NCI's Symptom Management and Health-Related Quality of Life Steering Committee's first Clinical Trials Planning Meeting (CTPM) in March 2009 was dedicated to CIPN (see Executive Summary at (http://transformingtrials.cancer.gov/steering/overview#ctpm). In review of the current state of the science in CIPN, significant knowledge gaps were revealed, including deficits in information of molecular mechanisms from preclinical models and in development of rational therapeutics. To that end, NCI's Division of Cancer Prevention, with support from the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences and from the National Institute of Neurologic Disorders and Stroke, conducted a CIPN workshop on June 24, 2011. This workshop involved neurobiologists, oncologists, neurologists engaged in CIPN and other peripheral neuropathy research, and CIPN patient advocates; workshop members identified priority research areas.
CIPN has a significant clinical burden, but to date has not been studied in a focused manner. In order to devise a focused approach to CIPN, this FOA will encourage preclinical research proposals to elucidate mechanisms of the neuropathic pain and neurosensory aspects of CIPN. Appropriate aspects include defining the pathophysiology of CIPN through preclinical models or confirming putative mechanisms for distinctive classes of CIPN-inducing agents. Manipulating promising molecular targets and pathways in the preclinical setting to validate their potential role in the initiation, maintenance, and resolution of CIPN would advance the extant science. Projects focused on preclinical discovery of modifiable risk factors are also of high priority.
Based on recommendations of a CIPN Workshop held by the NCI in 2011, several specific topics (listed below) are identified as promising and relevant directions. This list, however, is not inclusive and other topics may also be appropriate if they are relevant to the overall goals of this FOA.
The use of animal models such as rodents, including tumor bearing rodents, drosophila, and zebrafish, are appropriate for mechanistic studies under this FOA. However, central mechanisms of neuropathic or non-neuropathic pain, the effects of cancer itself on the nerve, or chemotherapeutic effects on the central nervous system are NOT appropriate under this FOA.
The R21 exploratory/developmental grant supports investigation of novel scientific ideas or new model systems, tools, or technologies that have the potential for significant impact on biomedical or biobehavioral research. An R21 grant application need not have extensive background material or preliminary information. Accordingly, reviewers will focus their evaluation on the conceptual framework, the level of innovation, and the potential to significantly advance our knowledge or understanding. Appropriate justification for the proposed work can be provided through literature citations, data from other sources, or, when available, from investigator-generated data. Preliminary data are not required for R21 applications; however, they may be included if available.

For this particular announcement, note the following:
The R21 exploratory/developmental grant supports investigation of novel scientific ideas or new model systems, tools, or technologies that have the potential for significant impact on biomedical or biobehavioral research. An R21 grant application need not have extensive background material or preliminary information. Accordingly, reviewers will focus their evaluation on the conceptual framework, the level of innovation, and the potential to significantly advance our knowledge or understanding. Appropriate justification for the proposed work can be provided through literature citations, data from other sources, or, when available, from investigator-generated data. Preliminary data are not required for R21 applications; however, they may be included if available.
Reviewers will provide an overall impact/priority score to reflect their assessment of the likelihood for the project to exert a sustained, powerful influence on the research field(s) involved, in consideration of the following review criteria and additional review criteria (as applicable for the project proposed).
Reviewers will consider each of the review criteria below in the determination of scientific merit, and give a separate score for each. An application does not need to be strong in all categories to be judged likely to have major scientific impact. For example, a project that by its nature is not innovative may be essential to advance a field.
Significance
Does the project address an important problem or a critical barrier to progress in the field? If the aims of the project are achieved, how will scientific knowledge, technical capability, and/or clinical practice be improved? How will successful completion of the aims change the concepts, methods, technologies, treatments, services, or preventative interventions that drive this field?
Investigator(s)
Are the PD(s)/PI(s), collaborators, and other researchers well suited to the project? If Early Stage Investigators or New Investigators, or in the early stages of independent careers, do they have appropriate experience and training? If established, have they demonstrated an ongoing record of accomplishments that have advanced their field(s)? If the project is collaborative or multi-PD(s)/PI(s), do the investigators have complementary and integrated expertise; are their leadership approach, governance and organizational structure appropriate for the project?
Innovation
Does the application challenge and seek to shift current research or clinical practice paradigms by utilizing novel theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions? Are the concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions novel to one field of research or novel in a broad sense? Is a refinement, improvement, or new application of theoretical concepts, approaches or methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions proposed?
Approach
Are the overall strategy, methodology, and analyses
well-reasoned and appropriate to accomplish the specific aims of the project? Are
potential problems, alternative strategies, and benchmarks for success
presented? If the project is in the early stages of development, will the
strategy establish feasibility and will particularly risky aspects be
managed?
If the project involves clinical research, are the plans for 1) protection of
human subjects from research risks, and 2) inclusion of minorities and members
of both sexes/genders, as well as the inclusion of children, justified in terms
of the scientific goals and research strategy proposed?
Environment
Will the scientific environment in which the work will be done contribute to the probability of success? Are the institutional support, equipment and other physical resources available to the investigators adequate for the project proposed? Will the project benefit from unique features of the scientific environment, subject populations, or collaborative arrangements?
As applicable for the project proposed, reviewers will evaluate the following additional items while determining scientific and technical merit, and in providing an overall impact/priority score, but will not give separate scores for these items.
Protections for Human Subjects
For research that involves human subjects but does
not involve one of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR
Part 46, the committee will evaluate the justification for involvement of human
subjects and the proposed protections from research risk relating to their
participation according to the following five review criteria: 1) risk to
subjects, 2) adequacy of protection against risks, 3) potential benefits to the
subjects and others, 4) importance of the knowledge to be gained, and 5) data
and safety monitoring for clinical trials.
For research that involves human subjects and meets the criteria for one or
more of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR Part 46,
the committee will evaluate: 1) the justification for the exemption, 2) human
subjects involvement and characteristics, and 3) sources of materials. For
additional information on review of the Human Subjects section, please refer to
the Human
Subjects Protection and Inclusion Guidelines.
Inclusion of Women, Minorities, and Children
When the proposed project involves clinical research, the committee will evaluate the proposed plans for inclusion of minorities and members of both genders, as well as the inclusion of children. For additional information on review of the Inclusion section, please refer to the Human Subjects Protection and Inclusion Guidelines.
Vertebrate Animals
The committee will evaluate the involvement of live vertebrate animals as part of the scientific assessment according to the following five points: 1) proposed use of the animals, and species, strains, ages, sex, and numbers to be used; 2) justifications for the use of animals and for the appropriateness of the species and numbers proposed; 3) adequacy of veterinary care; 4) procedures for limiting discomfort, distress, pain and injury to that which is unavoidable in the conduct of scientifically sound research including the use of analgesic, anesthetic, and tranquilizing drugs and/or comfortable restraining devices; and 5) methods of euthanasia and reason for selection if not consistent with the AVMA Guidelines on Euthanasia. For additional information on review of the Vertebrate Animals section, please refer to the Worksheet for Review of the Vertebrate Animal Section.
Biohazards
Reviewers will assess whether materials or procedures proposed are potentially hazardous to research personnel and/or the environment, and if needed, determine whether adequate protection is proposed.
Resubmissions
For Resubmissions, the committee will evaluate the application as now presented, taking into consideration the responses to comments from the previous scientific review group and changes made to the project.
Renewals
Not Applicable
Revisions
For Revisions, the committee will consider the appropriateness of the proposed expansion of the scope of the project. If the Revision application relates to a specific line of investigation presented in the original application that was not recommended for approval by the committee, then the committee will consider whether the responses to comments from the previous scientific review group are adequate and whether substantial changes are clearly evident.
As applicable for the project proposed, reviewers will consider each of the following items, but will not give scores for these items, and should not consider them in providing an overall impact/priority score.
Applications from Foreign Organizations
Reviewers will assess whether the project presents special opportunities for furthering research programs through the use of unusual talent, resources, populations, or environmental conditions that exist in other countries and either are not readily available in the United States or augment existing U.S. resources.
Select Agent Research
Reviewers will assess the information provided in this section of the application, including 1) the Select Agent(s) to be used in the proposed research, 2) the registration status of all entities where Select Agent(s) will be used, 3) the procedures that will be used to monitor possession use and transfer of Select Agent(s), and 4) plans for appropriate biosafety, biocontainment, and security of the Select Agent(s).
Resource Sharing Plans
Reviewers will comment on whether the following Resource Sharing Plans, or the rationale for not sharing the following types of resources, are reasonable: 1) Data Sharing Plan; 2) Sharing Model Organisms; and 3) Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS).
Budget and Period of Support
Reviewers will consider whether the budget and the requested period of support are fully justified and reasonable in relation to the proposed research.
Applications will be evaluated for scientific and technical merit by (an) appropriate Scientific Review Group(s), in accordance with NIH peer review policy and procedures, using the stated review criteria. Review assignments will be shown in the eRA Commons.
