About Us

The United States Military Cancer Institute (USMCI) is a tri-service program whose goal is to initiate, develop, coordinate and enhance multi-institutional cancer research, education and care within the military system. Composed of military and civilian oncologists, the Institute is committed to bringing together the cancer resources of the Army, Navy and Air Force to more effectively respond to challenges presented by cancer among military beneficiaries.

Our Director is COL Craig Shriver, who is also the Director of the Clinical Care Breast Project.

The Institute is a component of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU), a DoD graduate-education university located in Bethesda, Md. USMCI has components not only in the National Capital Area, but throughout the United States.

USMCI is a member of the Association of American Cancer Institutes, the prime organization representing cancer centers in this country.

The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine (HJF) provides collaborative scientific talent and research support services to USMCI.
