The National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC) will mark its tenth anniversary with a fall symposium titled, Ten Years of Empowering Cancer Researchers.
The event will be held in person in the Bethesda/Rockville area and online on Oct. 16 and 17 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET.
The CRDC is a cloud-based science infrastructure that provides secure access to a large, comprehensive and expanding collection of cancer research data and data science tools.
The goal of the symposium is to update the NCI and NIH community on the components, successes and future plans for the CRDC. Topics include updates on initiatives including artificial intelligence data readiness and the CRDC’s collaboration with the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health to develop a biomedical data fabric toolbox.
This meeting will be held in conjunction with NCI’s Office of Data Sharing (ODS) annual meeting, Oct. 15 – 16. To view the agenda or to register, visit: https://events.cancer.gov/crdc/events. Email questions or comments to NCICRDC@mail.nih.gov.
