TOWN HALL MEETING< previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 next >
On both the NIH and the NCI levels, scientists continue to focus on basic research, which may have implications for many diseases, and site-specific research, which is focused on a specific disease process. NCI’s strategic planning process is not directed at specific cancers, but toward broad-based science that could have an impact on all cancers in all populations. NCI supports a number of broad-based research programs that apply to all types of cancer in both women and men. Through its strategic planning process, NCI has identified many of the questions that need to be answered, areas of research and care that need to be supported, and infrastructure that needs to be strengthened to reduce the burden of cancer in all populations. The NCI Strategic Plan, (http://strategicplan.nci.nih.gov/), released in 2006, describes eight strategic objectives in two broad areas, To Preempt Cancer at Every Opportunity and To Ensure the Best Outcomes for All. NCI supports research programs to expedite progress toward these objectives. In addition, please view NCI’s Annual Plan and Budget Proposal for Fiscal Year 2008, http://planning.cancer.gov/planning/budget.shtml. < previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 next >
