Nathan Swami, PhD, of the Cancer Therapeutics Research Program.

The goal of the NCI Cancer Center Support Grant is to foster research that will improve the understanding, treatment, and prevention of cancer. We support innovative collaborative and interdisciplinary research including basic, translational, clinical, and population-based research. We encourage investigators with new perspectives and technologies to apply their expertise to the cancer problem.

However, the research we support must have a clear and central cancer focus. All investigators interested in participating in the Cancer Center should apply for membership.
