Excerpt from National Cancer Institute, Division of Cancer Research Resources and Centers: Annual Report, October 1, 1977 Through September 30, 1978 The Review and Referral Branch provides initial peer review for large-scale multidisciplinary research projects (program projects) intended to generate knowledge of cancer-its biology or control. These applications are divided for review according to their major emphases, into either clinical or basic science proposals. The Branch also provides initial peer review of proposals for indirect support of research at Cancer Research Centers through core fund ing of administrative costs and services, Such services might include computer use, biostatistics information, cell-culture maintenance and evaluation, and routine biochemistry and immunology tests. During fiscal year 1978, three committees (or subcommittees) reviewed the diverse applications submitted. Balance and expertise in each committee's deliberations are assured by members who are active investigators, and nationally and internationally recognized leaders in many Of the disciplines relevant to the cancer problem. The dis ciplinary composition of each committee is matched insofar as possible with the disciplinary composition of the applications it reviews. Committee recommendations are considered by the National Cancer Advisory Board as re quired by the National Cancer Act.
