American Cancer Society (ACS) Request for Applications (RFA): Pilot and Exploratory Projects in Palliative Care of Cancer Patients and Their Families
Purpose. The development of the palliative medicine speciality is a necessary step in addressing the unmet needs of both patients with serious illness and their families.
Pilot data typically are needed before funding agencies (e.g., NIH, VA, and ACS) will consider funding a research project. To support clinician investigators conducting patient-oriented research in palliative care, the ACS, in parallel with the National Palliative Care Research Center (NPCRC), is soliciting applications for pilot/exploratory research grants in palliative care for cancer patients and their families. These grants will generate the pilot data necessary to maximize an investigator's chances of successfully competing for larger grants.
This RFA is limited to applications that feature palliative care research projects for seriously ill cancer patients and their families in the following three areas:
|
-
Exploring the relationship of pain and other distressing symptoms on quality and quantity of life, independence, function, and disability and developing interventions directed at their treatment in patients with advanced and chronic illnesses;
- Studying methods of improving communication between cancer survivors living with serious illness with their families and health care providers;
-
Evaluating models and systems of care for patients living with advanced illness and their families.

SHARED RESOURCE SPOTLIGHT
|
|
| Biobehavioral Shared Resource
The overarching goal of the Biobehavioral Shared Resource (BBSR) is to enhance the feasibility and success of MCC investigators studying not only lifestyle behaviors and effect of interventions, but also biological indicators of cancer outcome, to reduce cancer risk and increase survival following the diagnosis of cancer. The BBSR provides expertise and guidance in developing and operationalizing behavioral research for MCC members who either do not have expertise in these areas or who have limited resources to use high-quality, science-based methodology without the context and efficiency of a consolidated service core.
The BBSR provides the following services:
|
-
Biological indicators assessment, which includes development of biological specimen processing protocols plus direct services for sample collection (e.g., phlebotomy) and processing (e.g. DNA & RNA extraction and small scale genotyping), instrument use (e.g. QiaCube), and laboratory analysis conducted in-house or by outside laboratories.
-
Behavioral assessment (e.g., dietary intake, physical activity, body composition), which includes protocol development plus direct services, such as providing devices, conducting dietary recalls and questionnaires, training, and processing of data.
-
Behavioral intervention services, which includes guidance on design and content for weight loss, diet and physical activity interventions, protocol development, training, and guidance with new communication modalities.
|
The BBSR collaborates with the UCSD Exercise and Physical Activity Resource Center (EPARC), which facilitates the use of subsidized, accessible services relating to physical activity, fitness, strength, and body composition.
BBSR laboratory instrumentation and methodologies enable analysis of nutrients and dietary biomarkers in biological samples that are not generally available through clinical laboratories. Biological samples may include blood, urine, saliva, cell culture media, products, and formulations.
The BBSR not only provides services to members of other NCI Comprehensive Cancer Centers, but also supports clinical research projects conducted by NCI-supported cooperative groups.
