The NCI Design System

The NCI Design System (NCIDS) is an adaptation of the U.S. Web Design System created for NCI informational websites and applications to enhance their user experience, increase accessibility, and offer opportunities for efficiencies and consistency.

With NCIDS, teams can:

• quickly develop and launch websites and web applications in line with NCI, NIH, Department of Health and Human Services, and federal policies and guidelines
• modernize their websites through adherence to modern web and digital standards and best practices
• leverage user research that optimizes the design and user experience
• align with the regular practices of modern digital shops and large organizations

NCIDS is an important component of NCI's digital strategy, embodying its key principles to make the digital strategy a reality for teams working to create a unified, audience-focused, and data-informed presence for NCI. Learn more about the NCIDS.
