The NCI is requesting competing renewal applications from the American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN), funded originally through RFA CA-97-020. This will continue a unique ongoing project at its current level and scope to best serve the oncology and imaging science communities. This is particularly important now because ACRIN is currently conducting several ongoing imaging clinical trials critical to the goals of the NCI. The combination of imaging with minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment will enhance clinical practice by limiting disfigurement, trauma and expense.
