How do NCI Strategic Priority Areas relate to the NIH Roadmap Areas?
NCI’s seven strategic priority areas, which play a unique role in helping us reach our 2015 Challenge Goal to eliminate suffering and death due to cancer, relate closely with the NIH Roadmap themes. NCI’s strategic priority areas include: molecular epidemiology; integrative cancer biology; cancer prevention, early detection, and prediction; strategic development of cancer interventions; an integrated clinical trials system; overcoming health disparities; and advanced technologies.
