US National Cancer Institute

National Cancer Institute (NCI) is part of the NIH, one of 11 agencies that are part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. NCI coordinates the U.S. National Cancer Program, which conducts and supports research, training, health information dissemination and other activities related to the cause, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer; cancer survivorship; and the continuing care of cancer patients and their families. NCI, Center for Global Health (NCI/CGH) supports the NCI mission by advancing global cancer research, and by coordinating NCI engagement in global cancer control. NCI/CGH has four strategic goals: (1) support innovative, impactful research that addresses key scientific issues in global cancer control and/or leverages unique scientific opportunities afforded by global collaboration; (2) support global cancer research training, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, that enables impactful global scientific collaboration; (3) promote the integration of current scientific knowledge in global cancer control; and (4) represent the NCI and promote its engagement with key partners in global cancer control.
