NCI Designation: What Does It Mean?

  • The Cancer Centers Program of the NCI supports major academic and research institutions throughout the United States.

  • Requests from eligible institutions for cancer center support are subjected to a competitive peer review process.

  • Successful applicants are awarded a P30 Cancer Center Support Grant to fund the scientific infrastructure of the cancer center, including administration, research resources, and flexible funds that help the center pursue its planned objectives and take immediate advantage of new basic and clinical research opportunities.

  • There are currently 61 NCI-Designated Cancer Centers in the United States.
