NCCN ORP Mission Statement
The NCCN ORP fosters innovation and knowledge discovery that improve the lives of patients with cancer.
Guiding Principles:
- Study both FDA-approved and investigational agents/devices, to seek novel enhanced, effective, and efficient cancer therapy.
- Develop new insights into cancer care delivery outcomes and quality, as well as identify solutions to barriers affecting optimal cancer management.
- Increase opportunities for NCCN Member Institution faculty to participate in oncologic investigation and support those who are, or will become, leaders in cancer research.
- Demonstrate that constructive, appropriate, and transparent collaboration between academia and industry results in valuable knowledge and improved cancer management.
- Ensure the dissemination of knowledge gained through the program to the medical community at large through presentations at meetings and/or publication in peer-reviewed journals.

The NCCN Oncology Research Program (ORP) is organized to obtain funding to support
scientifically meritorious research studies (clinical trials) at NCCN Member Institutions.
Policies and standards for the program are set by the NCCN Investigator Steering
Committee, comprised of senior research physicians appointed by each NCCN Member
Institution. The NCCN ORP has received millions of dollars in research grants from
major pharmaceutical companies to support investigator-initiated trials, which explore
new venues of clinical investigation that answer important research questions. Studies
evaluate innovative combinations and sequencing regimens of drugs, mechanisms of
action of specific agents, drug resistance, or are directed toward exploring extended
uses for specific agents.
