Department of the Interior: Calibre Database Support, Information Technology Services and Support (ITSS)

国家癌症研究所(NCI)是国家卫生研究院(NIH)的一部分，是卫生与公众服务部(DHHS)的一个业务部门。美国国会在1937年的《国家癌症法案》中授权成立国家癌症研究所(NCI)。在这项具有里程碑意义的立法中，NCI被授权从事某些基本活动：开展和促进癌症研究；审查和批准资助申请，以支持关于癌症病因、预防、诊断和治疗的有前途的研究项目；收集、分析和传播在美国和其他国家进行的癌症研究结果；以及提供癌症诊断和治疗方面的培训和指导。NCI是世界上最著名的癌症研究机构。 美国国立卫生研究院(NIH)国家癌症研究所(NCI)的癌症控制和人口科学部(DCCPS)旨在降低癌症的风险、发病率和死亡率，并提高癌症幸存者的生活质量。该司开展并支持一项高质量的癌症遗传、流行病学、行为、社会和监测研究的综合计划。 DCCPS的主要目标是资助校外研究。校外研究通过赠款、合同和机构间协议提供资金。在司长办公室的领导下，信息技术服务组提供信息技术(IT)服务和信息系统，以跟踪和传播与DCCPS研究组合(赠款、合同、IAA)有关的信息。DCCPS信息系统为分析和决策提供数据，帮助评估已学到的知识，确定新的研究重点和战略，并有效地应用研究发现来减轻癌症负担。 DCCPS旨在： ·了解癌症的原因和在人群中的分布， ·支持制定和实施有效干预措施，以及 ·监测和解释所有人群中的癌症趋势。 这些活动的核心是有助于以下方面的综合和决策过程： ·评估学到的东西， ·确定新的优先事项和战略，以及 ·有效应用研究发现，减轻癌症负担。 在总干事办公室信息技术服务组的指导下，信息技术服务组提供信息技术服务和信息系统，以跟踪和传播与总干事办公室研究项目有关的信息。管理人员和项目人员使用来自系统的数据和信息来协助对现有研究组合进行分析、评估和决策，并确定新的研究重点和战略，以有效地应用研究发现来减轻癌症负担。

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and is an operating division within the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). The creation of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) was authorized by the U.S. Congress in the National Cancer Act of 1937. In this landmark legislation, NCI was given a mandate to engage in certain fundamental activities: conducting and fostering cancer research; reviewing and approving grant-in-aid applications to support promising research projects on the causes, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer; collecting, analyzing, and disseminating the results of cancer research conducted in the United States and in other countries; and providing training and instruction in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. NCI is the world's pre-eminent cancer research organization. The Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), aim to reduce the risk, incidence, and deaths from cancer as well as to enhance the quality of life for cancer survivors. The Division conducts and supports an integrated program of the highest quality cancer genetic, epidemiological, behavioral, social, and surveillance research. The major objective of DCCPS is to fund extramural research. Extramural research is funded via grants, contracts and interagency agreements. Under the direction of the Office of the Director, the Information Technology Services Group (ITSG) provides Information Technology (IT) services and information systems for tracking and disseminating information relevant to the DCCPS Research Portfolio (grants, contracts, IAAs). DCCPS information systems provide data for analysis and decision-making that aids in evaluating what has been learned, identifying new research priorities and strategies, and effectively applying research discoveries to reduce the cancer burden. DCCPS is designed to: • understand the causes and distribution of cancer in populations, • support the development and implementation of effective interventions, and • monitor and explain cancer trends in all segments of the population. Central to these activities is the process of synthesis and decision-making that aids in: • evaluating what has been learned, • identifying new priorities and strategies, and • effectively applying research discoveries to reduce the cancer burden. Under the direction of the DCCPS, Office of the Director, the Information Technology Services Group (ITSG) provides Information Technology (IT) services and information systems for tracking and disseminating information relevant to the DCCPS Research Portfolio. Data and information from the systems are used by management and program staff to aide in analysis, evaluation, and decision-making regarding the existing research portfolio and to identify new research priorities and strategies that will effectively apply research discoveries to reduce the cancer burden.
