North American Association of Central Cancer Registries

描述(由申请人提供)：NAACCR是一个由癌症登记、监测项目、相关组织和个人组成的专业组织，致力于制定和促进癌症登记的统一数据标准；提供教育和培训；认证基于人口的登记；汇总和发布来自中央癌症登记的数据；以及促进癌症监测数据和系统的使用，用于癌症控制和流行病学研究、公共卫生计划和患者护理，以减轻北美癌症的负担。NAACCR获得了2001-2005年为期五年的R13会议赠款，获奖号为R13 CA91824。这一奖项为该协会主办年度会议提供了必要和有益的支持。多年来，我们满足了所有要求，并及时向NCI提供了报告。在过去几年中，我们能够增加会议的共同赞助者的数量，这有助于抵消会议运行费用的通货膨胀增加。这帮助我们为与会者保留了合理的注册费。年会的目标是： 1.为癌症登记和监测专业人员提供及时问题和战略举措的教育机会。 2.加强癌症登记和监测方面的同事之间的互动和联网，以加强和分享关于以下方面的知识：癌症登记数据的使用；新技术；数据获取和保密问题；癌症研究；癌症登记业务；以及监测研究的新统计方法。 3.提供机会，由协会成员和外部专家展示和分享研究成果、手术工具和癌症控制活动。 4.促进跨卫生学科和组织的国家和国际交流与合作，鼓励开发和整合癌症登记和监测系统。 5.就癌症登记业务、系统以及数据分析和提交中使用的标准保持一致的发展。 6.召开本协会的业务会议，包括最后确定主席团成员的选举，批准章程修正案，审查本组织的财政状况，以及所有组织单位(委员会)的进展和活动的年度报告。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): NAACCR is a professional organization of cancer registries, surveillance programs, related organizations, and individuals committed to the mission of developing and promoting uniform data standards for cancer registration; providing education and training; certifying population-based registries; aggregating and publishing data from central cancer registries; and promoting the use of cancer surveillance data and systems for cancer control and epidemiologic research, public health programs, and patient care to reduce the burden of cancer in North America. NAACCR received a five-year R13 conference grant for 2001-2005, under award number R13 CA91824. This award provided necessary and helpful support to host an annual conference for the association. In all years, we met all requirements and provided timely reports to NCI. In the last several years, we have been able to increase the number of co-sponsors of the meeting, which have helped offset inflationary increases in the cost of running the conference. This has helped us retain reasonable registration fees for attendees. The objectives of the annual conference are to: 1. Provide educational opportunity for cancer registry and surveillance professionals on timely issues and strategic initiatives. 2. Increase interaction and networking among colleagues in cancer registration and surveillance to enhance and share knowledge about cancer registry data uses; new technologies; data access and confidentiality issues; cancer research; cancer registry operations; and new statistical approaches to surveillance research. 3. Provide an opportunity to present and share research results, operations tools, and cancer control activities both by association members and from outside experts. 4. Stimulate national and international communication and cooperation across health disciplines and organizations to encourage development and integration of cancer registry and surveillance systems. 5. Maintain consensus development of standards used in cancer registration operations, systems, and data analysis and presentation. 6. Conduct the association's business meeting, which includes finalization of the election of officers, approval of amendments to the bylaws, review of the fiscal health of the organization, and annual reports of progress and activities from all organizational units (committees).
