NCI and Cancer Research UK Present: "Cancer Grand Challenges"

Please join the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and Cancer Research UK (CRUK) as we officially announce the launch of Cancer Grand Challenges on August 27, 2020. At this virtual event, you’ll learn how this program will facilitate global collaboration and innovation to address some ofthe toughest challenges that are slowing progress against cancer.

Through Cancer Grand Challenges, NCI and CRUK will solicit novel ideas from multidisciplinary research teams from around the world that offer the potential for bold advances in cancer research and improve outcomes for people affected by cancer.

I encourage all researchers, practitioners, patient advocates, grantees, academic research institutions, and anyone interested in the progress of cancer research to join us in commemorating this new partnership for innovation.

Sincerely,

Norman E. Sharpless. M.D. Director, National Cancer Institute
