Three Head and Neck Cancer SPOREs were awarded in the year 2002. Translational research sponsored by the Head and Neck Cancer SPOREs covers a wide range of projects in prevention, early detection, diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of head and neck tumors. The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) generously agreed to co-sponsor one third of these activities throughout the five year period with the National Cancer Institute.
