The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which is one of 11 operating divisions that are part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The NCI coordinates the U.S. National Cancer Program and conducts and supports research, training, health information dissemination, and other activities related to the causes, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer; the supportive care of cancer patients and their families; and cancer survivorship. As of April 2015, the current director of the NCI is Dr. Douglas Lowy[1]

The National Cancer Institute has large intramural research programs in Bethesda, Maryland and NCI-Frederick at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Maryland. In addition, the NCI funds cancer researchers around the United States.

History

The United States Congress established the NCI by the National Cancer Institute Act, August 6, 1937, as an independent research institute. Congress then made the NCI an operating division of the National Institutes of Health by the Public Health Service Act, July 1, 1944. Congress amended the Public Health Service Act with the National Cancer Act of 1971 to broaden the scope and responsibilities of the NCI "in order more effectively to carry out the national effort against cancer." Over the years, legislative amendments have maintained the NCI authorities and responsibilities and added new information dissemination mandates as well as a requirement to assess the incorporation of state-of-the-art cancer treatments into clinical practice.

In the spring of 2004 the NCI funded and started the cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (caBIG) initiative, a program dedicated to connecting U.S. biomedical cancer researchers using technology known as grid computing.[2] However, after a review of the program from late 2010 into early 2011, the NCI decided to move past the caBIG initiative and towards a new program, the National Cancer Informatics Program (NCIP).[3][4][5]

Technology and products

caBIG Clinical Trials, caLIMS, and caTissue

NOTE 1: With the NIC decision to phase out the caBIG initiative — and with it some of its software programs — the developmental status of the following products is currently in question.

The caBIG Clinical Trials Suite is an open-source NCI-sponsored enterprise clinical trials software system that is compliant with NCI's caBIG initiative. The suite contains a "collection of interoperable modules covering a broad range of key areas in cancer clinical trials management."[6] For information about what the suite can do, please reference the caBIG Clinical Trials Suite 2.3 User's Guide.

caLIMS is an open-source NCI-sponsored laboratory information management system (LIMS) that is compliant with NCI's caBIG initiative.[7]

The caTissue Suite is an open-source NCI-sponsored biorepository tool that allows "users to track the collection, storage, quality assurance, and distribution of biospecimens as well as data related to the participant and study protocol from which biospecimens are collected."[8] For more information about what the suite can do, please reference the caTissue Suite 1.2 Documentation and Training.

NOTE 2: Access to the caLIMS wiki was put behind a login. Per the GitHub page, you'll have to email NCI support for access.

caBIG Clinical Trials Suite, caLIMS, and caTissue Suite are open-source and freely available.
