## Abstract

HUNTSMAN CANCER INSTITUTE: OVERALL ABSTRACT
Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) at the University of Utah (U of U) is the only National Cancer Institute
(NCI)-designated Cancer Center in its catchment area, the State of Utah. It serves as the advanced cancer
care center for the State, with a dedicated cancer specialty hospital, training programs for cancer researchers
and health care professionals, and a major commitment to cancer research—with depth and breadth that
spans basic laboratory research; clinical research, including early phase clinical trials; and prevention, control,
and population-based research. HCI effectively promotes research and public policy measures to address
pressing needs of its catchment area, particularly special cancer burdens of rural/frontier populations. HCI is
also the only NCI-designated Cancer Center in the five-state Mountain West (Utah, Idaho, Montana, Nevada,
and Wyoming). HCI fills a critical role in the national Cancer Centers Program, by serving as a resource for this
large geographical area. Our Cancer Center has 186 members drawn from 34 academic departments in nine
colleges at the U of U. The members are supported by $48.7M (DC) in extramural cancer research funding.
HCI research is organized into four Research Programs that provide an environment of cancer focus and
collaborative exchange:
 Nuclear Control of Cell Growth and Differentiation  Experimental Therapeutics
 Cell Response and Regulation  Cancer Control and Population Sciences
HCI advances transdisciplinary and translational research through thoughtful strategic planning, effective
organizational structures, collaborative recruitment, and targeted investment. HCI members published 2,174
cancer-focused, peer-reviewed publications from 2014-2018, of which 80% are collaborative, either within the
Cancer Center or with external research partners. Support is requested for six HCI Shared Resources that
provide access to specialized instrumentation, assays, services, research materials, and expert consultation
and collaboration. These Shared Resources include the following:
 Utah Population Database  Cancer Biostatistics
 Genetic Counseling  Biorepository and Molecular Pathology
 Research Informatics  High-Throughput Genomics and Bioinformatic Analysis
In summary, HCI requests funds to support Years 31-35 of our Cancer Center Support Grant (CCSG), under
the leadership of Cornelia Ulrich, MS, PhD, HCI’s Cancer Center Director. CCSG funding will support
expenses associated with Community Outreach and Engagement, Cancer Research Career Enhancement and
Related Activities, Cancer Center Shared Resources, Clinical Protocol and Data Management, Protocol
Review and Monitoring, Program Leadership, Senior Leadership, Administration, and Developmental Funds.
