The median size was $0.9 million. Cancer Center Core Grants The core grants, formally called Cancer Center Support Grants, are "...ciesigne`d to support those activities that unit consolidate and focus cancer related research efforts in a single- administrative and programmatic structured Core grant support is intended to promote the stability and development of a center and to facilitate administrative and programmatic control of center activities.

From page 28... ...
The core grants are not intended to fund laboratory and clinical research, training, education, detection, or facilities construction activities. Support of other cancer center functions depends upon federal and nonfederal funding mechanisms, such as investigator-initiated research project grants, program project grants, cancer control grants, education grants, training grants for clinical trials research cooperative agreements, research contracts, state funds, institutional funds, and private donations.

These are scientists who are closely associated with the cancer center and who have peer-renewed research support. "A major purpose of this partial support is to provide some of the necessary stability for a 'core' of investigators with proven records." 29

development of new shared resources. "It is the intent that developmental funding provide a flexible means for the center director to progress toward achieving the goals of the center." The use of the funds for new investigators.is to allow up to three years of support for an individual newly arrived at an institution, or for an individual already at an institution, who is independent of a mentor, but at the beginning stages of a research career.

The majority of funds each year have gone to support shared resources and services. These figures have stayed relatively constant over time; an analysis of the use of core grants in 1977 found that 43.3 percent of the funds went to support shared services.

In the case of renewal applications, if the current salary support exceeds 25 percent of direct costs the renewal request is limited to the current amount and must include a plan to reach the 25 percent level. If the current level of staff' investigator support is less than 25 percent, the renewal may request either 25 percent of direct costs of current grant or the current level plus an increase of no more than 10 percent of the renewal application ceiling, whichever is less.

Core grant applications are then sent to the Division of Extramural Activities of NCT, where the- Cancer Center Support Grant Review Committee is responsible for the scientific (peer) review of the applications.

consortium grants. Since the purpose of the consortium grant program is to stimulate development of research in cancer control within a defined region, it was not felt that the existing review committee had the appropriate expertise.

The site visitors and the review committee use the following criteria in assessing the applications: o interdisciplinary coordination. O organizational capabilities and facilities.

that will use the resources. The review criteria for consortium grants are essentially the same' except that the focus of the core support is an interinstitutional program to facilitate research in cancer control.
