On Oct. 4, 2021, the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center announced it had successfully renewed its National Cancer Institute Cancer Center Support Grant (CCSG).

This grant bestows National Cancer Institute (NCI) designation on the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center and marked continuous NCI funding for the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center since 1984.

Renewal of the CCSG, amounting to approximately $12 million over the next five years, helps cover the costs of administering the cancer center’s research programs and operating its core facilities, which provide sophisticated technical services to researchers throughout the cancer center.
