THE CANCER CENTER SUPPORT GRANT (CCSG)
MD Anderson's Cancer Center Support Grant (CCSG) is awarded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and provides major funding for many of MD Anderson's core facilities. 75% of MD Anderson research is supported by the CCSG. MD Anderson authors should always cite the Cancer Center Support Grant (P30 CA016672) as a source of funding for all clinical trials, protocols and IRB studies or if they have utilized any of the core services. This applies only to research publications and does not include book chapters, commentaries, or editorials.
ACKNOWLEDGE WHEN YOU PUBLISH
MD Anderson authors must list the Cancer Center Support Grant (P30 CA016672) in the manuscript’s funding acknowledgement section when submitting a research manuscript to a journal for publication. Many publishers will deposit the manuscript to the NIHMS system on behalf of the authors if this acknowledgment is made.
ASK THE PUBLISHER
All MD Anderson authors are responsible for ensuring that their published research papers have a PMCID. Authors can ask the publisher to submit on their behalf. Note: If the publisher is unwilling to submit on behalf of the authors, they will have to submit through the NIHMS System.
When contacting the publishers please provide the following information:
