Funding Strategy

NCI supports the best scientists and research projects through a rigorous grant application and peer review process.

Funding Determinations

NCI understands that researchers applying for grants want to know about their chances of receiving funding for their grant applications. Therefore, every fiscal year, NCI makes its funding strategy information publicly available. For more information about how NCI makes funding decisions, see NCI Peer Review and Funding Outcomes.
