Program Objectives

The Research Technology Program, located at NCI's Frederick campus, offers investigators specialized support to help them succeed in today's fast-paced and complex scientific environment. Established by NCI's Office of the Director and managed by Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC Frederick, Inc.), the Program provides specific expertise, new technologies, and experienced staff to enhance the research efforts of all NCI investigators. Researchers from the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at the Frederick campus also utilize the Research Technology Program.
