National Cancer Institute; Office of Cancer Communications; 
Notice of Partnership Initiative

    Pursuant to Pub. L. 92-463, notice is hereby given that the Office 
of Cancer Communications, National Cancer Institute, is seeking 
partnerships with non-Federal organizations to conduct public awareness 
programs on cancer research, patient education, clinical trials, 
screening, prevention, genetics education, and cancer risk 
communication. The goal is to strengthen the National Cancer Program by 
forming partnerships with private sector organizations. These 
cooperative efforts are intended to bring the resources of several 
partners to bear on cancer-related problems that are too complex or 
massive for any one organization to handle alone.

    Note: Partnerships between NCI and outside organizations will be 
formalized through Memorandum of Agreements and will not involve 
grants or contracts.

    Date of Effectiveness: Beginning immediately.
    For more information, please contact John Burklow, Office of Cancer 
Communications, National Cancer Institute, at (301) 496-6631.

    Dated: September 12, 1996.
Philip D. Amoruso,
Director, Office of Extramural Management.
