National Cancer Institute Cancer Centers Program
The NCI Cancer Centers Program comprises more than 50 NCI-designated cancer centers engaged in multidisciplinary research to reduce cancer incidence, morbidity and mortality. Through Cancer Center Support grants, this program supports three types of centers: Comprehensive Cancer Centers, Clinical Cancer Centers, and Cancer Centers. It was the National Cancer Act of 1971 that strengthened the program by authorizing the establishment of 15 new cancer centers and the continued support for existing ones. (NCI Thesaurus)
