note = "Funding Information: From this beginning, universities formed medical institutes—particularly cancer centers—starting with the Wistar Institute at the University of Pennsylvania in 1892 and the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in 1898. Subsequently, foundations such as the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation began to fund centers, as did the federal government through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation. Funding Information: Cancer. In 1961, the National Cancer Institute announced three new grant programs to broaden the base of cancer research in the United States: the Cancer Research Facilities Grant; Program Project Grants for cancer research; and Cancer Clinical Research Center Grants (14). By 1963, these programs funded approximately $6 million at 12 institutions, including funding for institutions that had received GCRC grants (14).",
