Alliance Cancer Care delivery research pilot project Funds

The Alliance offers funds to support pilot projects in Cancer Care Delivery Research (CCDR). The purpose of these pilot projects is to generate preliminary data that will lead to the development of an Alliance CCDR study for submission to the NCORP network. The Alliance CCDR Committee is particularly interested in concepts that focus on: patient out of pocket costs, financial toxicity for patients/caregivers, and/or financial counseling; implementation of patient-reported outcomes into routine care delivery; practice-level changes that improve cancer care delivery, such as implementation of survivorship care plans, models for coordination of care, or surgical cancer care processes.

These Alliance CCDR Pilot Project funds are available from the Alliance NCORP Research Base grant, which is supported by the NCI Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS) and are available for CCDR pilot projects that can be completed within one year. Applicants and their respective institutions must be Alliance members and members of the Alliance CCDR Committee.

The recipient of the 2024 Alliance CCDR Pilot Project Award is Brian T. Halbert, MD, MPH , of Gayle and Tom Benson Cancer Center - project:
“Implementation of a Home Health Monitoring Program to Improve Cancer Treatment Adherence among Men with Advanced Prostate Cancer.”
