The primary focus of this FOA is to promote the conduct of early phase clinical trials for: preliminary clinical evaluation of the safety and efficacy of imaging agents; assessment of imaging and IGI systems and methods; contrast kinetic modeling; quantitative tools in imaging; and image-guided drug delivery. This FOA builds upon the success of its predecessor FOA, PAR-08-147 entitled " Quick-Trials for Imaging and Image-Guided Interventions: Exploratory Grants (R21)". Through this FOA, funding is primarily provided for early phase clinical trials that are designed and developed in such a way as to facilitate completion within 2 years.
Imaging is a vital tool in all aspects of the clinical management of cancer including screening, diagnosis, interventions, and monitoring of responses to therapy and surveillance. Great strides have been made in the understanding of the biology and pathophysiology of cancer due to the advent of sophisticated imaging techniques.
There has been a significant investment of resources by the NCI in imaging, for both the understanding of cancer biology and the improvement of the clinical management of cancer patients. This investment has stimulated considerable additional research activity in the fields of new imaging devices, imaging agent development, and image-guided intervention (IGI), systems, methodologies, and therapies. Consequently, there are now many new approaches in cancer imaging and IGI at the preclinical stage of development. As agents, modalities and methodologies go through preclinical evaluations with promising results, they need to be further developed, utilized, and subsequently validated in clinical settings to allow for better tumor diagnosis, staging, intervention, and monitoring of response to therapy in both the general population and underserved populations. For instance, functional imaging methods that would provide clinicians with a better understanding of the effects of a given treatment, at time-points early enough to impact treatment selection and overall management, will allow treatments to be tailored to the individual patient. Early understanding of the effects of a given therapy or intervention could potentially allow clinicians to switch to more effective treatments saving patients from untoward side effects or death, saving both lives and resources. Early clinical trials of novel imaging agents and methodologies are needed to establish their safety and efficacy, as well as to advance scientific understanding of their clinical potentials. In addition, in many cases incorporation of advanced imaging and IGI techniques into clinical trials remains difficult, not in-pace with clinical need, and under supported. Hence, there is a critical need for a funding initiative for early phase trials which helps accelerate the assessment of imaging modalities, methodologies, and agents as well as IGI methods through the early stages of clinical evaluation in both the general and underserved populations.
This FOA will provide a mechanism by which to accelerate the development of these modalities, methodologies, and agents through the early stages of clinical development. This FOA will provide investigators with support for pilot (Phase I and II) cancer clinical trials, inclusive of patient monitoring and relevant laboratory studies. The imaging and Image-guided Intervention (IGI) investigations, if proven successful in these early clinical trials, can then be validated in larger studies through competitive R01 mechanisms, or through clinical trials in the Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPOREs), Cancer Centers, and/or Cooperative Groups.
Functional imaging and image-guided interventions that will help address health issues and disparities in underserved populations will also be considered for this FOA. Examples of issues that can be examined include, but are not limited to, novel imaging or image-guided approaches to evaluate differences in safety and efficacy of imaging agents and monitoring of differences in response to therapy among different racial and ethnic populations.
Features of this program include a modular budget and inclusion of the clinical protocol within the grant application. Inclusion of the complete clinical protocol within the human subjects section of the application is important and will ensure proper peer review of the application. Though not required, a copy of the corresponding Institutional Review Board (IRB) application can be submitted with this application to facilitate completion of the proposed research in the 2-year timeframe. Other key features include no requirement for extensive preliminary data in the application (although applicants must demonstrate that the proposed imaging or IGI solutions are ready for use in human subjects, prior to award), support for exploratory translational research studies, and rapid development and application of novel clinical imaging and IGI in cancer-related applications.
Applications that exclusively address phantom and pre-clinical studies will not be considered appropriate for this FOA.

Only the review criteria described below will be considered in the review process. As part of the NIH mission, all applications submitted to the NIH in support of biomedical and behavioral research are evaluated for scientific and technical merit through the NIH peer review system.
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?
In addition, specific to this FOA: Have the proposed tools and technologies been sufficiently developed at a preclinical stage to warrant further evaluation in an early phase clinical trial?
Investigator(s)
Are the PD/PIs, 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/PI, 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? Is an existing concept, methodology, instrumentation, or intervention being applied in a novel way?
In addition, specific to this FOA: Since innovation - as defined in this PAR's context - includes investigations of novel or advanced imaging and/or IGI methods in early phase clinical trials, will the proposed research seek to challenge existing paradigms or offer the possibility of new methods for diagnosis, intervention, and response evaluation of targeted cancer problems?
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?
In addition, specific to this FOA: While the proposed study can be a small pilot/feasibility study for which extensive preliminary human data may not be necessary, is the proposed research supported by enough basic science or preliminary work in animal models to be ready for further evaluation as an early phase clinical trial? Is the proposed research designed and developed in such a way as to facilitate completions in a 2-year timeframe? Is the proposed clinical trial protocol congruent with the overall goals of the proposal?
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) convened by the Center for Scientific Review (assignments will be shown in the eRA Commons), in accordance with NIH peer review policy and procedures, using the stated review criteria.
