Rutgers Cancer Institute

Rutgers Cancer Institute became New Jersey’s only NCI-Designated Cancer Center in 1997 and achieved Comprehensive Cancer Center status in 2002.  There are over 300 Members from across Rutgers University, Princeton University (its Consortium partner since 1994), and other collaborating institutions; these scientists conduct innovative basic, clinical, translational, and population research. Funding from the Cancer Center Support Grant and institutional/philanthropic support are leveraged to support Members’ promising novel pilot projects and to recruit researchers in areas of strategic need for the Research Programs. Rutgers Cancer Institute is likewise committed to contributing to the evolution of the next generation of investigators in cancer-related basic, clinical, population, and catchment area relevant science. An array of broad-based, multidisciplinary training and career enhancement opportunities are offered to trainees ranging from high school students to junior faculty, with a commitment to building diversity and cancer health equity.
