Limited Competition: Cancer Immune Monitoring and Analysis Centers (CIMACs) and Cancer Immunologic Data Center (CIDC) (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed): Through this limited competition Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), the National Cancer Institute (NCI) invites applications to continue support for the Cancer Immune Monitoring and Analysis Centers Cancer Immunologic Data Center (CIMAC-CIDC) Network. The CIMAC-CIDC is a network of laboratories (CIMACs) and a bioinformatics center (CIDC) established to perform correlative studies using biospecimens from cancer immunotherapy clinical trials. Applying a comprehensive set of state-of-the-art immunoprofiling assays and bioinformatics pipelines, the CIMAC studies encompass genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, microbiomes, and phenotyping analyses of tumor, tumor microenvironment, blood, stool, and other types of biospecimens. The ultimate goal of the CIMAC-CIDC Network is to identify biomarkers of response, resistance, and adverse events to optimize immunotherapy approaches for patients with cancer. CIMACs work with clinical trial teams and CIDC on correlative studies examining the association of biomarker data from the assays with clinical data from the trials.
