Stanford Cancer Institute Membership

Membership Criteria

I. Overview

Stanford received a Cancer Institute Support Grant from the NCI in June 2007. The major purpose of a cancer Institute is to promote discovery relevant to the pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of cancer, and to translate those discoveries into benefit to patients and to the community.  The NCI awards Cancer Institute Support Grants (CCSGs) to institutions that have a critical mass of cancer-relevant scientific, population-based, and clinical research. To that end, the leadership of the Cancer Institute would like to identify all of those individuals within the broad Stanford community whose research and/or patient care activities are relevant to cancer and encourage them to apply for membership.
