NCI Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer

The NCI Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer, launched in 2004, is engaged in efforts to harness the power of nanotechnology to improve the way we diagnose, treat, and prevent cancer. The Alliance works in concert with other NCI advanced technology initiatives to provide the scientific foundation and team science that is required to transform cancer research and care.

The Alliance program aims to:

  • Address major barriers in cancer biology and/or oncology using nanotechnology
  • Enable mechanistic studies to expand the fundamental understanding of nanomaterial and/or nano-device interactions with biological systems
  • Advance new nanotechnology cancer discoveries and promote their transformation into cancer-relevant applications in clinical practice
  • Develop next-generation of cancer researchers in the area of nanotechnology

The locations and institutions receiving IRCNs/TTNCIs grants in 2023

The Alliance’s programs foster innovation and collaboration among researchers within and between institutions, as well as across scientific disciplines.
