The NCI recognizes cancer centers around the country that meet rigorous criteria for world-class, state-of-the-art programs in multidisciplinary cancer research.
The NCI supports cancer centers that have dedicated significant resources into developing research programs, faculty, and facilities that will lead to better approaches to prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer.
What are the Benefits of Being an NCI-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center?
The benefits of NCI-designation for cancer centers include:
- Recognition of excellence in cancer research.
- Membership in the community of NCI-designated cancer centers, and a "seat at the table" where the strategic plans and initiatives of NCI are formed.
- Opportunity to represent the needs of its local community in national dialogue on cancer research issues.
- Opportunities for extensive information sharing and broader scientific collaborations with other NCI centers.
