title: The National Cancer Institute's Efforts in Promoting Research in the Tumor Microenvironment.
abstract: The National Cancer Institute has fostered studies of the tumor microenvironment since 1993. Current funding initiatives that span concepts in cancer biology, technology development, convergence of physical sciences-oncology, and systems biology all support research that help in our understanding of the role of the tumor microenvironment at all stages of cancer progression and therapeutic resistance.
