National Cancer Institute; Notice of Closed Meeting
Pursuant to section 1009 of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended, notice is hereby given of the following meeting.
The meeting will be closed to the public in accordance with the provisions set forth in sections 552b(c)(4) and 552b(c)(6), title 5 U.S.C., as amended. The purpose of this meeting is to evaluate requests for preclinical development resources for potential new therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. The outcome of the evaluation will provide information to internal NCI committees that will decide whether NCI should support requests and make available contract resources for development of the potential therapeutic to improve the treatment of various forms of cancer. The research proposals and the discussions could disclose confidential trade secrets or commercial property such as patentable material, and personal information concerning individuals associated with the proposed research projects, the disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.
Name of Committee: National Cancer Institute Special Emphasis Panel; OCT2024 Cycle 48 NExT SEP Committee Meeting.
Date: December 10, 2024.
Time: 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Agenda: To evaluate the NCI Experimental Therapeutics Program Portfolio.
Place: National Institutes of Health, 9000 Rockville Pike, Building 31, Room 3A44, Bethesda, Maryland 20892 (Virtual Meeting).
Contact Persons: Barbara Mroczkowski, Ph.D., Executive Secretary, Discovery Experimental Therapeutics Program, National Cancer Institute, NIH, 31 Center Drive, Room 3A44, Bethesda, Maryland 20817, 301-496-4291, mroczkoskib@mail.nih.gov.
Toby Hecht, Ph.D., Executive Secretary, Development Experimental Therapeutics Program, National Cancer Institute, NIH, 9609 Medical Center Drive, Room 3W110, Rockville, Maryland 20850, 240-276-5683, toby.hecht2@nih.gov.
This notice is being published less than 15 days from the meeting date due to exceptional circumstances. An unanticipated number of projects for clinical trial support of promising experimental therapeutics treating various cancer types, including pediatric cancer, were received which delayed the identification of panel members with the appropriate expertise. If the meeting is not held on December 10, 2024, there will be a profound negative impact on translational cancer research resulting in a 6-9-month delay in funding which will significantly slow down the initiation of meritorious projects/clinical trials by one year.
