Application Page Limits
The NIH implemented new page limits for applications effective January 2010.
Due to the complex nature of the P30 CCSG application, the NCI was able to
obtain a waiver for 2010 P30 applications while new page limits were being
finalized. All 2010 applicants were advised to use the page limits outlined
in the September 2008 Guidelines as before.
Effective with applications received January 25, 2011 and after, however,
new page limits will apply. As of that time, applications that are not
compliant may be returned without review by the Center for Scientific Review.
The new page limits are shown on the table below.

Use of NCI–designated Cancer Center Logos
Purpose
The NCI Office of Cancer Centers (OCC) will provide officially approved logos to
NCI–designated Cancer Centers (CC) and NCI–designated Comprehensive Cancer
Centers (CCC) for use in their routine business.
Policy
NCI–designated Cancer Centers (CC) and NCI–designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers
(CCC) will be allowed to use the NCI Cancer Center logo, appropriate to their designation,
in the promotion, advocacy, educational, and other related activities of the
individual cancer center. Cancer Centers and Comprehensive Cancer Centers are not allowed to
use the NCI logo.
Institutions allowed to use the NCI–designated Cancer Center logo include P30 Cancer Center
Support Grant (CCSG) awardees, their primary hospital(s), and other research institutions
officially peer–reviewed and approved by IRG Subcommittee A (Parent Committee) in
accordance with the CCSG Guidelines criteria on consortium centers.
Guidance
- Following approval of their designation, NCI–designated Cancer Centers or
NCI–designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers will receive the NCI Center logo in the approved
formats. These formats were designed by NCI for official use by NCI–designated Cancer
Centers and will not be modified.
- The NCI Cancer Center logo (CC or CCC) is available for use on all print and online
materials. Approved Cancer Centers do not need special permission or approval for each use.
The NCI Cancer Center logo may generally be used in conjunction with other logos (your
institution), but not with the NCI, NIH or HHS logos.
- The NCI Office of Communications and Education suggests the following file formats
for the applications below:
a. Graphics applications - .eps, .tif
b. Word processing - .bmp, .png, .jpg
c. Web sites - .gif, jpg
- The NCI Office of Cancer Centers requires that Centers use a logo at least 3.75 picas
wide in print materials or 48 pixels wide for website use. If you use the NCI Center logo with
logos of other agencies or organizations, the NCI Center logo can be smaller but in no case shall
it be smaller than the minimum 3.75 picas in width.
- The logo, as a single unit on a page, may be flush left, flush right, or centered, as shown
in the examples below. The positioning of other material will vary depending on the media in
which it appears.
- As the NCI Center logos were designed by NCI, please do not make any modifications to
the logo or tagline font. The NCI–designated Comprehensive Cancer Center logo is trademarked
and copyright–protected.
- The NCI–designated Centers logos were designed for use in black and white. However if
your background is dark, the logo may also be displayed in all white. Do not screen (shade),
shadow, or make other alterations to the logo.
- No modifications or alterations may be made to the tagline language as provided in the
three examples, please use exactly what is provided in the example.
Questions regarding the use of the NCI–designated Centers logo may be directed to the Office of
Cancer Centers, National Cancer Institute (301) 496–8531.

Use of NCI, NIH and HHS Logos
The NCI, NIH or HHS logos are NOT to be used on any Cancer Center–produced material.
NCI guidelines specifically state that NCI, NIH and HHS logos are NOT to be used for any Cancer
Center or grantee–produced material or document, whether it is print material (e.g., pamphlets,
brochures, training materials, books, and conference posters or exhibits), on Internet and intranet
websites, or in slides or other computer presentations, even if materials are supported by NCI
grants.
Since NCI is one of many institutes at NIH, which is part of HHS, this means that grantees are
not to use the NIH and HHS logos either.
Questions regarding the use of the NCI, NIH or HHS logos should be directed to Donna Bonner,
MSPM, Office of Communications and Education, National Cancer Institute, (301) 496–4394 or
bonnerd@mail.nih.gov.—posted 3/11/2010
