Michigan was one of six programs to receive funding in 1998 when the NCCCP was established. Now, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, eight U.S.-associated Pacific islands/territories, and seven tribes and tribal organizations are part of the NCCCP. Through the NCCCP, Michigan is required to maintain a cancer plan and statewide cancer coalition.
