Page 2

The National Cancer Institute and the National Institutes of Health feel that CRN is an essental cancer resource stems from:

a) the availability of integrated access to clinical data for large, stable, and diverse patient populations that are available through the "parent" Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs)

b) the expertise of CRN researchers in using large sets of clinical data

c) the availability of direct access to such large data sets of broad populations and populations of cancer patients, including patients with rare cancers or complex medical conditions.

The NCI and NIH are planning to grant a maximum grant amount of $20 million throughout the entire duration of the project, which is anticipated to range from 1-5 years.
