National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI)

January 2008

We are proud and pleased to have been welcomed as the 21st member of the National Cancer Research Institute (NCRI) partnership - the first partner with a focus on childhood cancers, in particular childhood leukaemia.

NCRI is a partnership between the government, charity and industry. This partnership promotes co-operation amongst its 21 member organisations - for the benefit of patients, the public and the scientific community.

The NCRI partnership aims to ensure that patients benefit from cancer research in the UK and also promotes research which will help to prevent cancer in the future.

By making the results of research widely available, the NCRI partnership enables new knowledge to be applied to further research and information to be used to develop new treatments and diagnostics.

We look forward to contributing to the development and implementation of cancer research strategies in the UK through this partnership.
