Review Of NCI Intramural Program Offers Over 60 Recommendations For Change

“With resources now constrained, the ability of NCI to be responsive to its constituencies has been compromised.”
“Too much [of NCI’s] planning is reactive rather than proactive. As a consequence, vision suffers.”
“The Working Group urges NCI to reconsider its current budget to determine whether the 25 percent devoted to the IRP is appropriate.”
