[Program Announcement 01102]


Cancer Surveillance Research With Data Enhancement and 
Utilization, Notice of Availability of Funds

A. Purpose

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announce the 
availability of fiscal year (FY) 2001 funds for a cooperative agreement 
program to support priority cancer surveillance research with data 
enhancement and utilization activities. This program addresses the 
``Healthy People 2010'' priority areas related to Cancer.
    The purpose of this program is to utilize data from the National 
Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) to perform enhanced surveillance 
and operational research to include developing, conducting and 
evaluating cancer surveillance research projects targeting breast, 
colorectal, prostate, ovarian, and oral/pharyngeal cancers.
    Applicants with interest in innovative cancer surveillance research 
activities are encouraged to apply under this announcement and, if 
appropriate, to partner with universities.
    This program consists of 4 parts:

Part I--Breast/Colorectal/Prostate (BCP) Cancer Patterns of Care (POC), 
Recurrence, and Survival (Optional Breast Cancer Screening Linkage 
Component)

    The purpose of Part I is to conduct cancer surveillance research by 
comparing detailed clinical information including stage, diagnostic 
investigations used to assess stage (determinants of stage), and 
treatment in large, random samples of patients with female breast, 
prostate and colorectal cancers.
    The purpose of the Optional Breast Cancer Screening Linkage 
Component is to validate and assess the completeness and accuracy of 
information contained in the state Breast and Cervical Cancer Early 
Detection Program (BCCEDP) minimum data elements (MDE's) and to

[[Page 29817]]

sample for comparison of treatment of early stage breast cancer.

Part II--Reporting Pathology Protocols (colon and rectum)

    The purpose of Part II is to implement The College of American 
Pathologists (CAP) Reporting Protocol for cancers of the colon and 
rectum.

Part III--Ovarian Cancer Patterns of Care

    The purpose of Part III is to evaluate specific information related 
to the diagnosis and treatment of ovarian cancer, including: physician 
specialty, accuracy of staging and treatment data, chemotherapy 
treatment data, survival rates, and recurrence.

Part IV--Oral/Pharyngeal Cancer: Data Completeness and Quality

    The purpose of Part IV is to evaluate the completeness, timeliness 
and quality of oral and pharyngeal cancer and to apply methods to 
improve data collection, reliability, and validity.

B. Eligible Applicants

    Part I--Eligibility is limited to those population-based cancer 
registries (hereafter referred to as NPCR registries) listed in 
Appendix B. Determination of eligibility is based upon silver or gold 
certification by the North American Association of Central Cancer 
Registries (NAACCR) (with the exception of the timeliness standard) for 
diagnosis year 1997. This diagnosis year certification is the most 
recent available from NAACCR.
    Part II--Eligible applicants are limited to NPCR registries which 
can demonstrate through a letter of support at least one effective 
partnership with a laboratory or laboratory vendor providing pathologic 
diagnostic services in a National Cancer Institute (NCI) designated 
comprehensive cancer or clinical cancer center facility in their state. 
Eligible states are listed in Appendix C.
    Part III--Eligibility for Part III is limited to NPCR registries 
listed in Appendix B. Determination of eligibility is based upon NAACCR 
silver or gold certification (with the exception of the timeliness 
standard) for diagnosis year 1997.
    Part IV--Eligibility for Part IV is limited to NPCR registries 
listed in Appendix B. Determination of eligibility is based upon NAACCR 
silver or gold certification (with the exception of the timeliness 
standard) for 1997. Multiple registries may submit a joint application.
