2001 Budget Request

How We Spend Our Budget

• About 73% of our budget supports basic and clinical studies conducted by researchers and clinicians across the Nation through our Extramural Research Program.
• We spend about 16% of our budget on our Intramural Research Program, in which NCI's own scientists conduct cancer-related research.
• About 4% of our budget is devoted to training, education, and career development of researchers and clinicians at every stage of their careers.
• We use about 3% of our budget to communicate the latest information about cancer risk, detection, prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and control to people with cancer, health professionals, and the general public.
• About 4% of our budget supports the administration and management of the Institute.
