Minority-Based Community Clinical Oncology Program Groups
Page 2The MBCCOP Groups will work by providing patients with access to clinical trials in cancer centers, major university centers, and community programs. And in this manner, this access will be realized through another, separately funded, arm of the program called "Research Bases," which are comprised of participating NCI Cooperative Groups and Cancer Centers.
As a result, the linkages that will soon be developed as a result of this access is expected to facilitate the transfer of advances in cancer prevention/control/treatment practices to minority communities and their physicians.
The National Institutes of Health is ready to administer funds in the amount of $5,500,000 to support the Minority-Based Community Clinical Oncology Program Groups.
The institutions and organizations who will be deemed eligible to submit an application under this program are the following:
a) Public and State Controlled Institutions of Higher Education
b) Native American Tribal Governments
c) Federally recognized Native American Tribal Organizations
d) Nonprofit Organizations
e) Private Institutions of Higher Education
f) For-profit organizations
g) Small businesses
The United States Department of Health and Human Services, the mother agency funding the program, is the nation's premiere agency for protecting the health of all Americans and providing essential human services to everyone, especially to those who are medically challenged and financially vulnerable.
