Recovery Act Funding Plans – New Note from NCI Director Dr. John E. Niederhuber Now Open For Comments (7/8/09)
"Many of NCI's investments still to be funded under the Recovery Act are key programs designed to stimulate important research in the extramural community, while other efforts are designed to be core resources that, just as importantly, support the science of the extramural community. As always, the ultimate beneficiaries of our efforts must be cancer patients. We have a duty to study new, potentially efficacious agents in a timely manner.”
Register for caBIG® Annual Meeting “Solving Basic and Clinical Research Challenges in Cancer and Beyond” (7/20/09-7/22/09)
Registration for the 2009 caBIG® Annual Meeting, “Solving Basic and Clinical
Research Challenges in Cancer and Beyond,” is now active. The meeting is free and open to the public. Registration is required, and we strongly encourage you to register early due to space limitations. For more information and to register, please visit the caBIG® <https://cabig.nci.nih.gov/2009AnnualMeeting> Website.
Now in its sixth year, the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) cancer Biomedical
Informatics Grid® (caBIG®) has been developed to enable the sharing of data and knowledge, simplify collaboration, speed research to deliver diagnostics and therapeutics more efficiently, and realize the potential of personalized medicine. caBIG® connects major segments the cancer community—including more than 50 NCI-designated Cancer Centers, members of the National Community Cancer Center Program, numerous NCI large-scale science endeavors, and countless scientists.
Beyond cancer research, caBIG® capabilities—infrastructure, standards, and
analytical tools—also provide a platform for linking other disease communities. This year’s conference is especially timely in light of the sweeping changes underway at the national level in life sciences and health care. As the United States embarks on an unprecedented adoption of electronic health records, the role of information technology as an enabler of a new generation of research and clinical care is becoming clearer than ever before.
Join the researchers, technologists, and visionaries who will gather at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, D.C. on July 20-22. Whether you are a newcomer to caBIG®, have just started deploying caBIG® in your organization, or have been a part of the initiative since its beginning, the caBIG® Annual Meeting has something for you!
The <https://cabig.nci.nih.gov/2009AnnualMeeting/program.html> program includes plenary sessions and multiple breakout tracks addressing a range of topics from the Cancer Knowledge Cloud and the future of biomedicine to how to use caBIG® tools and infrastructure to aggregate, integrate, and analyze data and how to adopt caBIG® tools or adapt existing systems to become interoperable with caBIG®. Plenary speakers include directors of NCI-designated Cancer Centers who will describe their scientific, technological, and organizational strategies to achieve 21st-century
personalized medicine and improve patient outcomes, as well as national leaders in science, technology, and policy who will explore our rapidly changing approach to health care and describe what they see on the horizon for transforming the biomedical enterprise.
