[[File:AmountOfNCIGrantsInVermont.PNG|right|500px]] The NCI doesn't provide amounts for grants prior to 2012. When there are amounts available, only UVM received grants, and the grant amounts followed the same trend as the grant numbers. The mean grant amount is around $850,000.
So, for the Cancer Center to achieve its goal of $15m/yr in grants, it would need around 18 grants per year. There were 631 organizations receiving funding from the NCI in 2021; an organization with 18 grants per year is around the 85th percentile. Of course, not all NCI grants will likely accrue to the Cancer Center. The Cancer Center would, therefore , likely have to add between 10 and 15 grants per year to UVM's totals.
Below is a list of institutions that UVM would have to be competitive with in terms of NCI grants to achieve its goals:
UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER
JACKSON LABORATORY
