The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign received a $1,477,345 Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cancer Centers Support Grants program (CFDA 93.397), effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2029. This award supports the Cancer Center at Illinois (CCIL), which provides organizational infrastructure and coordination for high-quality, interdisciplinary cancer research. The center delivers research services through two primary research programs—Cancer Technology & Data Science and Cancer Engineering & Biological Systems—leveraging an engineering-focused approach to develop novel technological solutions for cancer detection, treatment, and prevention. The CCIL integrates meritorious research and education across institutional boundaries, serving 82 center members supported by approximately $34.7 million in external cancer-relevant peer- and non-peer reviewed direct costs as of October 2024. Under this CCSG award, the center provides critical resources including scientific leadership, coordination of shared research resources, administrative support, and developmental funding for feasibility studies and new researcher recruitment. The funding facilitates the CCIL's "discovery-to-use" paradigm, which emphasizes driving innovation through convergence of engineering, chemistry, and biology; translating research findings to clinical and industrial applications; and building collaborative research communities. These services advance the NCI's cancer research agenda by reducing cancer incidence, mortality, and morbidity through coordinated, transdisciplinary research conducted at the University of Illinois' Urbana campus.Summary of Federal Project Grant Award
