NCI's FFRDC
The Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research (FNLCR) is a government-owned, contractor-operated (GOCO), federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) supported by a dedicated branch of the NCI Office of Acquisitions. The FNLCR is operated through NCI’s FFRDC contract.
FNLCR provides rapid response capabilities and one-of-a-kind resources for the biomedical research community within NCI, NIH, and other federal agencies. With a unique array of research support and advanced technologies, the FNLCR bridges the gaps from discovery to healthcare delivery; accelerates the development of new technologies and prototype treatments for patients; and paves the way for new advances to enter clinical trials for testing, approval, and delivery to patients via the commercial sector.
