Core Clinical Centers
The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) are pleased to welcome the following 20 Institutions/Consortia that will be the Core Clinical Centers/Consortia of the Blood and Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Network (BMT CTN) for the new project period (July 2017 through June 2024).
