National Cancer Institute Community Cancer Centers Program (NCCCP-NCI)

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Community Cancer Centers Program was an NCI-sponsored three-year pilot program to address the changing landscape of cancer treatment and care delivery. The overriding aim of the program was to expand cancer research to more community sites and improve care delivery across the cancer continuum. Sixteen non-profit community hospital-based cancer centers, including two multi-hospital systems, participated in the pilot.
