To tackle the human health challenges that face the world today, the FNIH develops collaborations with top experts from government, industry, academia and the not-for-profit sector and provides a neutral environment where we can work productively toward a common goal.
The NiP- Metastatic Prostate Cancer Project will re-examine the Cou302 database to further optimize the radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) endpoint to include additional factors that may influence overall survival. The model in development will be a first-in-prostate cancer predictive model to incorporate imaging
Gene drive is a mechanism that can promote the preferential inheritance of a beneficial genetic trait, thereby increasing its prevalence in a population. A variety of gene drive mechanisms occur in nature that can cause specific genetic elements to spread throughout populations in varying degrees. Researchers have long sought to harness these naturally occurring gene drive mechanisms to prevent the transmission of mosquito or other insect-borne diseases that pose some of society's most intractable public health problems.
https://fnih.org/sites/default/files/final/pdf/APPENDIX%20D_PACT%20Guidelines_v2_01142019_0.pdfThe Partnership for Accelerating Cancer Therapies (PACT) is a five-year public-private research collaboration totaling $220 million launched by the National Institutes of Health, the FNIH and 12 leading pharmaceutical companies as part of the Cancer Moonshot. PACT will initially focus on efforts to identify, develop and validate robust biomarkers — standardized biological markers of disease and treatment response — to advance new immunotherapy treatments that harness the immune system to attack cancer. The partnership will be managed by the FNIH.
The Stephen J. Solarz Memorial Fund supports immunotherapy research in the laboratory of David Schrump, M.D. at the Center for Cancer Research of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Funds are used to provide international fellowship opportunities to aspiring post-doctorate scientists and researchers in the field of cancer.
The Cancer Research Fund enables individuals to support cancer research at the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
Informing the development of the Precision Medicine Initiative.
The Dr. Edward T. Rancic Memorial Fund for Cancer Research supports a Fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Richard Childs at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) to explore treatments for renal cell carcinoma.
The Dean R. O'Neill Renal Cell Cancer Research Fund supports a Fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Richard Childs at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) to explore treatments for renal cell carcinoma.
Lung-MAP is an umbrella protocol which contains a screening component and multiple independently conducted and analyzed treatment sub-studies. The overarching hypothesis is that the umbrella master protocol will establish genomic screening for a large population of previously treated Non-small cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients and evaluate targeted therapies (or combinations) in biomarker-driven sub-studies and immunotherapy combinations in patients previously exposed to standard checkpoint inhibitor therapy and lead to regulatory approval of efficacious regimens.
The Genome Research Fund supports genetics and genomics research at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI).
