About CTRP
NCI's Clinical Trials Reporting Program (CTRP) fulfills a recommendation made by the NCI Clinical Trials Working Group (CTWG) to the National Cancer Advisory Board. The purpose of the program is to establish a comprehensive database containing regularly updated information on all NCI-funded clinical trials. Grantees enter specific information about each clinical trial into the database. NCI internally transfers to CTRP information on CTEP, CCR and DCP trials, eliminating the need for awardees to enter information on these trials. NCI uses this information to coordinate research efforts to optimize our nation's investment in cancer research. NCI initiated a phased launch of CTRP, which started January 2009, with a focus on registering interventional trials only. The registration of observational, ancillary and correlative studies will begin at a later date.

Current Release
CTRP Version 3.7 is the current release; it is currently on Production.
Whenever we release a new version of CTRP, the policy is to support the current and last two service versions. Based on this, consumers of our services should not have to upgrade more than once in any given 12 month period. With CTRP 3.6.1, we support the following versions of the services.
- PA Services: Versions 3.4, 3.3, 3.2
- PO Services: Versions 3.2, 3.1, 3.0
Project Planning and Management
We engage in Agile project development, where we focus on time-boxed iterations that result in a deployable, testable application at the end of each iteration. As part of the iterative development, we actively engage with stakeholders on a regular basis.
The project management plan, communications plan, risk management plan, and project schedule are available in the CTRP source control repository. To view or download a copy of any of these documents, please go to the following location: project management
Deployment Information
As part of the iterative development process, we are committed to making our latest implementation artifacts available for external consumers. We maintain many deployment tiers with various versions of the working software. You can always see what version of the software is deployed where.
