3. Harold Varmus, MD Director, National Cancer Institute Co-recipient of Nobel Prize in 1989 for studies of the genetic basis of cancer Began his tenure June 2010 Former President and CEO, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Director, National Institutes of Health 23 years as faculty member at UC San Francisco

4. What is a NCI-Designated Center? Institutions dedicated to research in the development of more effective approaches to prevent, diagnosis and treat cancer 67 centers: most affiliated with university medical centers; some are freestanding centers; some conduct research only Entrée to greater federal funding Recognition of scientific excellence and outstanding leadership

5. Two Levels of NCI-Designated Centers (cancercenters.cancer.gov/index.html) 1.Comprehensive Cancer Centers (41 nationally) Scientific leadership in each of three areas: laboratory, clinical and population-based research Substantial transdisciplinary research that bridges these areas Professional and public education and outreach, including dissemination of clinical and public health advances 2. Cancer Centers (26 nationally) Scientific leadership, resources and capabilities in laboratory, clinical or population science, or some combination of these three Reasonable depth and breadth of research in the scientific areas it chooses and transdisciplinary research across these areas

6. Cancer Center Support Grant (P30) Funding provided by NCI to support: Formal, interactive scientific research programs Centralized shared resources (technologies, services, consultation) Strategic planning and evaluation Developmental funding to pursue newly identified priorities Centralized Cancer Center administration Centralized scientific oversight of cancer clinical trials Substantial funding involved FY11 range $720,000 - $13.6 million (1 year) Extensive written grant + site visit by NCI review committee; renewed every 5 years Philanthropy important in the “institutional support” component

7. SPORE: Specialized Programs of Research Excellence Promote interdisciplinary, translational cancer research Basic + clinical scientists = new and diverse approaches Focused on a specific organ site or a group of cancers (i.e. GI cancers) Goal: Rapid and efficient movement of basic scientific findings into clinical settings o Required to reach a human end-point within 5-year funding period 62 SPOREs in 23 states; 17 organ sites/systems represented Encourages the advice of patient advocates
