Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities
CRCHD supports the reduction of cancer health disparities in diverse populations through research, training, and partnerships.
Center for Strategic Scientific Initiatives
CSSI provides support for innovative programs that include nanotechnology, clinical proteomics, biorepositories and biospecimens, and physical sciences cancer research.
Office of Biorepositories and Biospecimen Research
OBBR coordinates and manages the development of biospecimen-related policies and practices affecting NCI biorepositories.
Office of Cancer Clinical Proteomics
OCCPR supports the development of technologies and reagents that will advance our understanding of protein biology in cancer
The Cancer Genome Atlas Program
TCGA is a NCI initiative aimed at accelerating our understanding of the molecular basis of cancer through the application of genome analysis technologies, including large-scale genome sequencing.
Office of Cancer Genomics
OCG supports programs that will enhance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of cancer.
Office of HIV and AIDS Malignancies
OHAM coordinates HIV/AIDS research throughout the NCI, including programs in AIDS-related cancer.
Innovative Molecular Analysis Technologies Program
IMAT is a NCI initiative that supports the development of novel technologies that support clinical, laboratory, and epidemiology cancer research.
Office of Nanotechnology Research
OCNR directs the NCI Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer program that supports the application of nanotechnology to all aspects of cancer research.
Office of Physical Sciences-Oncology
OPSO supports the establishment of scientific teams and individual scientists from the fields of physics, mathematics, chemistry, and engineering to develop novel approaches for cancer research.
Provocative Questions Program
PQ is a NCI initiative that intends to assemble a list of important questions, or problems that are paradoxes in cancer research that will stimulate research communities to use laboratory, clinical, and population sciences in new, effective, and imaginative ways. Inquiries about the PQ program are being managed by the Center for Strategic Scientific Initiatives.
Small Business & Small Business Technology Transfer
SBIR and STTR programs seek to increase small business and private sector participation to develop and commercialize novel technologies to prevent, diagnose, and treat cancer.
