ABOUT NCRI
What is NCRI?
NCRI is a partnership between the government, charity and industry which promotes co-operation among the 21 member organisations for the benefit of patients, the public and the scientific community.
The activities of NCRI are led by the NCRI Board, made up of senior staff from member organisations. The NCRI Secretariat carries out the Board’s decisions and generally helps our members to interact.

Why we exist
NCRI was set up in 2001 to develop common plans for cancer research and to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort. Until NCRI came together there was little joint planning or management of cancer research, and collaborations were patchy. There was no single source of information about the research being carried out, so it was difficult to assess needs for new work.
