10,000 newly diagnosed lung and colorectal cancer patients.The current reissuance of the program will continue to support follow up studies on the CanCORS-associated lung and colorectal cancer patient cohorts.The currently funded CanCORS Consortium has collected extensive information about medical care received by these cancer patients over the initial acute treatment phase along with information on the clinical and patient-reported outcomes experienced by the patients during this phase.This FOA provides the next phase of funding for a detailed assessment of the quality of follow-up care and the health outcomes among longer-term survivors of lung and colorectal cancer.Dissemination of CanCORS data is also a distinct objective.

The currently funded CanCORS Consortium consists of separate awards for a Statistical Coordinating Center (SCC) and seven Primary Data Collection and Research Sites (PDCRs).To allow for a tighter integration in the continuation of the program, all individual components will be supported by one award.

Therefore, this FOA solicits a single, joint application from the current SCC and the PDCR awardee institutions that will consolidate these components under a single organizational entity for the next round of follow-up studies on the two CanCORS patient cohorts.-Mechanism of Support.

This FOA will utilize the NIH cooperative agreement (U01) funding mechanism.
