External Cooperative Research Programs

Developmental Therapeutics Program of the U.S. National Cancer Institute operates an anti-cancer screening program for the benefit of the extramural research community. The program, which is operated at no cost to suppliers, accepts both natural and synthetic compounds from scientists in the academic and industrial communities worldwide.

International Programme in the Chemical Sciences (IPICS) supports a broad range of chemical research; organic, inorganic and biological; analytical, physical, synthetic and structural; basic and more applied research. IPICS also encourages interdisciplinary research, based on well-founded knowledge within the participating disciplines. One third of the support goes to regional and interregional collaboration. IPICS maintains regional programs and networks in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) focuses on capacity building for the peaceful applications of chemistry in areas which are relevant to the Chemical Weapons Convention. Members include many countries from Africa and the Middle East, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific, and Europe and Central Asia. Programs run by the OPCW are primarily designed for member states whose economies are either developing or in transition.
