Mission of the Center for Strategic Scientific Initiatives

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

  1. synthesize and integrate information emerging from basic, translational, and clinical cancer research,
  2. conceptualize and implement trans-NCI scientific goals,
  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.
