Description

Appalachian and Inner-city Pediatric, Adolescent, and Young Adult Cancer Data Ecosystem (ACCELERATE) Consortium FY2024/2025 Kentucky Pediatric Cancer Research Trust Fund Grant Program SCOPE OF WORK The National Cancer Institute recognizes pediatric, adolescent, and young adult cancer (PAYA) patients as a special and understudied population with approximately 90,000 individuals ages 0-39 diagnosed with cancer in the United States each year. Cancer is the leading cause of disease-related death in the PAYA population. Survival of PAYA cancer has shown improvements over time. However, survival improvements in the AYA population lag behind those observed in children and older adults for several cancers. Particularly among children, many cancers remain incurable and severely burdensome for these individuals and their families. The ability to accurately assess the costs and understand the needs of this unique population of cancer patients remains limited due to the lack of accessible high-quality data on a population scale. This contract shall form a data sharing consortium of leading cancer centers within the most PAYA cancer burdened region in the United States to aggregate, integrate, and connect existing clinical and molecular data to catalyze collaborative research. The overall goal of this contract is to formulate the Appalachian and Inner-City Pediatric, Adolescent, and Young Adult Cancer Data Ecosystem (ACCELERATE) Consortium. According to KRS 211.597, the Pediatric Cancer Research Trust Fund (PCRTF) board shall establish a grant program to provide funding to research projects and programs in accordance with priorities established in the PCRTF plan.
