[Agency] NIH [Project Title] BUILDING CER CAPACITY: ALIGNING CRN, CMS, AND STATE RESOURCES TO MAP CANCER CARE [Institution] DANA-FARBER CANCER INSTITUTE [Amount] $1,999,936 [Summary] Through a partnership between investigators in the Cancer Research Network (CRN) and Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center, we propose to develop a resource with sufficient depth and breadth to support high quality cancer comparative effectiveness research (CER) addressing two key knowledge gaps. First, we will focus on treatment of advanced disease. Advanced cancer results in the bulk of deaths, morbidity, and expenditures. Moreover, the evidence base for treatment of advanced disease is often thin and based on expert consensus achieved through extrapolation from small efficacy studies in highly selected cohorts. The second key gap we will address is the relative dearth of population-based research on patterns and outcomes of cancer care for patients who aren't represented in SEER-Medicare.
