NCI-Sponsored Cancer Center Programs

National Cancer Institute (NCI) Sponsored Cancer Centers exist to foster cancer-focused research, in part through the creation of formal Programs. A Program comprises the activities of a group of investigators who share common scientific interests and goals and participate in competitively funded research. At Mayo Clinic Cancer Center, the 12 NCI-funded Programs are highly interactive and lead to exchange of information, experimental techniques, and ideas that enhance the individual productivity of scientists and often result in collaborations and joint publications across the three Mayo Clinic campuses and with other institutions. Ultimately, the success of Programs is measured by the emergence of productive collaborations, many of which are described throughout the following pages.
