The NCI grants process was designed to ensure that applications proposing the most promising scientific research projects are evaluated and awarded, and that the proposed scientific aims are completed.

See the NCI Grants Process for a quick overview as well as an in-depth look at the 6-step application process, NCI’s research funding mechanisms, the Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) and the administrative requirements for grant closing.
