Mission of the Center for Strategic Scientific Initiatives

The mission of the Center for Strategic Scientific Initiatives (CSSI) is to

  3. coordinate trans-NCI initiatives in cancer research and technology development, and
  4. manage the official reporting of the NCI’s funded grant, intramural, and contract portfolio.

CSSI carries out its mission in partnership with the extramural divisions at NCI and the broader cancer research community.
