, by Jennifer K. Loukissas, M.P.P.

The CCR-DCEG Collaborative Award is a means for NCI Intramural investigators to work across Divisions with support for high-risk, high-impact collaborative projects in the area of cancer mechanism, diagnosis, prognosis, susceptibility, predisposition, or prevention. This year, a new health disparities award was initiated.

Scientific directors from the Center for Cancer Research (CCR) and DCEG announced the 2022 projects awarded FLEX Awards. Consistent with the NCI commitment to addressing health equity, two of these address important cancer health disparities.
