At the 2022 annual meeting of the Association of American Cancer Institutes—hosted by The University of Kansas, the newest NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center—Dr. Doug Lowy, then acting NCI director, discussed how enhancing the way centers communicate research is vital to the eradication of cancer.
As NCI paylines drop to 4%, cancer centers are tapping into their institutional funds to provide “bridge funding,” typically in $50,000 to $100,000 increments, to enable investigators to keep their labs open until better times return—next year God willing.
