# UM LAPs - UG1 Grant

> **NIH NIH UG1** · UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN AT ANN ARBOR · 2020 · $633,720

## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY
The University of Michigan (UM), inclusive of its Comprehensive Cancer Center (UMCCC) and
Medical School Departments, requests this UG1 award as an NCI National Clinical Trials
Network Lead Academic Participating Site (NCTN LAPS-UG1). We view this opportunity as an
important component of a large cancer research effort at our institution. We remain committed
to the concept that multi-institutional collaboration is essential to the advancement of cancer
treatment. Our goal as a LAPS site is to make significant scientific, leadership, administrative
and patient data contributions to the NCTN effort to study and improve cancer therapy. The
NCTN process involves the development and conduct of purposeful clinical trials, adoption of
uniform toxicity and response criteria, collection of patient data, and results reporting. NCTN
Group research is the only setting in which sophisticated concepts of combined modality and
interdisciplinary therapy as well as adjuvant therapies can be properly evaluated. NCTN clinical
research has also provided an improved understanding of the important relationships between
prognostic factors, therapy and patient outcomes that could not have been obtained otherwise.
