About the NCI at Frederick

The NCI at Frederick works with its collaborators and partners to develop faster and less expensive ways of turning laboratory discoveries into new diagnostic tests and treatments for cancer and AIDs.

The Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research (FNLCR)

FNLCR is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) operated by Leidos Biomedical Research, Inc., for the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH). The FNLCR provides quick response capabilities and meets special long-term research and development needs for NCI that cannot be met as effectively by existing in-house or contractor resources. Visit the FNLCR website to get more information on Collaborations, Technology Transfer, Business Opportunities and Outreach.

The FNLCR also hosts several laboratories at the Advanced Technology Research Facility at Riverside Research Park

The Center for Cancer Research (CCR)

CCR is home to more than 250 scientists and clinicians working in intramural research at NCI. CCR is organized into over 50 branches and laboratories, each one grouping scientists with complementary interests. CCR's investigators are basic, clinical, and translational scientists who work together to advance our knowledge of cancer and AIDS and to develop new therapies against these diseases. CCR investigators collaborate with scientists at the more than 20 other Institutes and Centers of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), as well as with extramural scientists in academia and industry. Visit the CCR website to get more information on Research, Training and Clinical Trials.
