Welcome to the Emory Winship Cancer Institute P30 Website Emory University has been engaged in a process to develop a center of excellence in cancer research and clinical cancer care for over two decades. The culmination of these efforts is the planned submission of a Cancer Center Support Grant (CCSG), also known as a Center Grant, or P30, application, in May 2008. Approval and funding of this P30 application would result in Emory University achieving its long-time goal of becoming a National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer center, one of a select, elite group of cancer centers across the United States. Currently, Georgia has no NCI-designated cancer center. This website is designed to provide the visitor with an overview of our progress in the P30 submission process. The meter on our Homepage indicates how far each of the component areas of the P30 has developed, as well as the progress of the entire CCSG endeavor. The website is also intended to allow WCI Program, Shared Core, and Administrative leadership access to P30 templates, tables, and guidelines; to download needed forms; and to upload documents for the P30 application. The maxim used by the NCI as it relates to cancer centers is: “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” Each cancer center member, staff, and person in a leadership role is part of the P30 process and part of the “whole” that ensures the success of the Winship Cancer Institute’s mission in cancer research and care. I am deeply grateful for all the support shown to the WCI recently and in years past. Thank you for your extraordinary contributions to the excellent research, clinical care, and teaching that take place every day at Emory University in the “whole” represented by the Winship Cancer Institute. Warm regards, Brian Leyland-Jones, MD, PhD Director, WCI Associate Vice-President, Woodruff Health Sciences Center
