NCORP
Welcome to the National Cancer Institute’s Minority and Underserved Community Oncology Research Program (MU-NCORP) at The Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center (HICCC) in Washington Heights.
About NCORP: The National Cancer Institute Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) aims to bring cancer clinical trials and care delivery studies to individuals in their communities. By partnering with academic institutions, healthcare providers, and community organizations, NCORP strives to address cancer health disparities and improve outcomes for all patients.
Commitment to Our Community
Located in the heart of Washington Heights, our center is deeply committed to serving our diverse neighborhood. We understand the unique challenges faced by individuals in our community and are dedicated to providing accessible, culturally sensitive cancer care and support services to all.
Our clinical trials allow patients to take advantage of the latest and most advanced cancer treatments while staying close to family, friends, support systems, local physicians, and other healthcare providers.
Our patients benefit from the combined expertise of a national network of cancer researchers throughout the US and in Puerto Rico, and from internationally known physicians at the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center—one of the nation’s most prestigious cancer institutes.

Sub-Affiliates
Our sub-affiliate sites play a crucial role in our mission. They serve as essential hubs for cancer research and patient care, providing access to clinical trials, innovative treatments, and supportive services to their local communities.
Being a sub-affiliate site means that these institutions are part of a collaborative network dedicated to advancing cancer care and addressing disparities in underserved populations. They contribute to the broader research efforts of the NCORP program while also tailoring their services to meet the unique needs of their communities.
