The NCI Funded Research Portfolo's search function allows you to search the database using a number of criteria. On the search form, some of these criteria are designated by fields that already have preset values. Fields that are not relevant to your search can be left blank. The search function is not case sensitive.
When you have finished entering values for each of your search criteria, click the Search button and your request will be processed. If you would like to erase all of your entries and start over, click the Reset link.
The CSO is organized around seven broad areas of scientific interest in cancer research, including:
For example: "breast cancer"
You may also search using multiple words or phrases. To do this, combine words or phrases with "and" or "or" and use parentheses for grouping.
For example: (clinical and prostate) or (clinical and "breast cancer")
You may use keywords to search any of the following criteria:

NCI research projects are coded to a variety of research categories and organ sites. In many cases a portion of a research project, and not the entire project, focuses on a category or organ site. When this is the case, that portion is assigned to a category as a percentage. This is considered the "percent relevance" of that category of the total research project. How the percentages are assigned depends on the type of project.
The NCI Funded Research Portfolio returns search results in one of two views: (1) the Project Details View and (2) the Budget Category View.
The Project Details View is available for all searches. This view displays detailed information for the projects returned by your search and includes scientific coding data comprising three categories:
The Budget Category View is only available if your search includes either a Special Interest Category (SIC) or an Disease site and is for fiscal year 2007 or greater. This report displays detailed information for projects returned by your search and includes relevant funding data for Special Interest Categories (SICs) and disease sites. These data represent the funding levels relative to each category.
