Since its designation as a National Cancer Institute (NCI) Comprehensive Cancer Center in 1973, the Fred Hutch/University of Washington/Seattle Children’s Cancer Consortium has demonstrated a commitment to excellence in cancer research and treatment. The purpose of the Consortium is to bring together cancer-focused researchers from across its three participating institutions. Through efforts to promote collaboration and support research among its members, the Cancer Consortium aims to increase understanding, strengthen prevention and diagnostic capabilities, and develop effective therapies for cancer.
The Consortium comprises over 650 faculty from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines, including basic science, clinical and translational research, and public health.
Our Focus
The Consortium’s efforts are centered around five strategic areas of research:
Our Approach
The Consortium comprises eight different research programs, each of which address a different aspect or area of cancer research. The Consortium also supports and collaborates with a variety of other programs and organizations that provide resources to members and further our research aims, including the Office of Community Outreach & Engagement (OCOE), Office of Education and Training (OET), the Office of Facuty Affairs and Diversity (OFAD), and twelve sponsored Shared Resources.
Cancer Center Support Grant (CCSG)
The Fred Hutch/University of Washington/Seattle Children's Cancer Consortium receives a P30 Cancer Center Support Grant and accompanying NCI designation for successfully meeting a spectrum of rigorous competitive standards associated with scientific and organizational merit. The CCSG supports research infrastructure that enhances collaborative, transdisciplinary research productivity. CCSG grants provide funding for formalized cancer research programs, shared research resources, scientific and administrative management, planning and evaluation activities, development of new scientific opportunities, and centralized clinical trial oversight and functions.

Our Impact
The Cancer Consortium is dedicated to eliminating cancer as a cause of suffering and death, both locally and around the world. Through close collaboration with our Office of Community Outreach & Engagement (OCOE), Consortium faculty are able to tailor their research and work to the needs of the communities in our Catchment Area, which encompasses the entire state of Washington.
In addition to our Catchment Area, the Consortium is proud to serve as the central node of a widespread research network that includes over 1,000 research sites in more than 70 countries, most notably the Uganda Cancer Institute in Kampala, Uganda.
