Data Table 4 (DT4) is an NCI-designated Cancer Center standard report as defined by the NCI Office of Cancer Centers (OCC) https://cancercenters.cancer.gov/ P30 Cancer Center Support Grant (CCSG) Data Table Guide v3.1.1 https://cancercenters.cancer.gov/GrantsFunding/DataGuide and supporting Electronic Data (eData) Guide v3.1.1 https://cancercenters.cancer.gov/GrantsFunding/eData.  This report serves as a report of cancer-related, hypothesis-driven, clinical research studies open at a particular Cancer Center during a specified reporting period.

CTRP-generated DT4 reports are leveraged for CCSG DT4 reporting for the following:

  • Continued support of interventional CTRP-generated Data Table 4 for both competing and non-competing applications
  • Observational CTRP-generated Data Table 4 for non-competing applications began in FY 22 (i.e., Oct 1, 2021)
  • Ancillary-correlative trials continue to be submitted in a Center-generated Data Table 4

  • CTRP-generated DT4 (PDF) version:  Used for CCSG Competing Type 2/Renewal applications (limited fields in support of the Competing Data Guide requirements for DT4) https://cancercenters.cancer.gov/GrantsFunding/DataGuide
    • Required:  Interventional trials only
    • “Download” - File Type “PDF” report export option
    • Read only; Comments are NOT acceptable
    • Submission Process:  Cancer Center uploads CTRP-generated DT4 (PDF) to the eRA Commons/ASSIST system

  • CTRP-generated DT4 (Excel) version:  Used for CCSG Non-Competing Research Performance Progress Reports (RPPR) applications (fields in support of the Non-Competing eData Guide requirements for DT4) https://cancercenters.cancer.gov/GrantsFunding/eData 
    • Required:  Interventional trials and Observational studies only
    • “Download” - File Type “XLSX” (Excel) report export option
    • Comments (Column AD in the report) are acceptable
    • Submission Process:  Cancer Center emails CTRP-generated DT4 (Excel) to the OCC CCSG mailbox ccsgdata@mail.nih.gov  

**The expectation is that each NCI-designated Cancer Center will maintain their own data within CTRP throughout the year and facilitate the CTRP-generated DT4 review and submission process.** 

For CTRP data requests/discrepancies/questions for review, please send emails to the NCI Clinical Trials Reporting Office (CTRO) mailbox NCICTRO@mail.nih.gov.   

Please note that the CTRP/CTRO does NOT get copied on your CCSG CTRP-generated DT4 Competing and/or Non-Competing RPPR submissions; therefore, if you have any specific questions and/or data requests, please send a confidential copy of your CTRP-generated DT4 with questions and/or a summary email with your questions to the NCI CTRO NCICTRO@mail.nih.gov

If CCSG policy-specific questions, please reach-out to the OCC/Program Director for your Cancer Center. For more information, refer to the following pages:
