HHS Colorectal Cancer Screening Workshop

NCI癌症流行病学和遗传学部门的使命是进行全面、高质量、高影响力的研究，以揭示癌症的原因及其预防方法。DCEG保持国家和国际视角，优先考虑通过流行病学、临床和实验室观察确定的紧急问题，以及NCI、国会、监管机构和其他适当机构确定的公共卫生问题。该司在NCI、NIH和全球研究界开发分子流行病学的研究资源和战略伙伴关系。该司的首要任务是培训和发展癌症流行病学和相关领域的下一代科学家。本次会议支持这一使命的方方面面：1)演讲将侧重于高质量、高影响研究的未来方向，这是该司的标志。研讨会的会议记录将被公布，这将推动整个生物医学界相关领域的未来研究。2)该活动将成为一次培训机会，特别是对初级调查人员而言。与会者将代表整个研究界，从学士学位后、博士后和博士后研究员到高级科学家。3)会议将突出对公共卫生和医疗实践具有重大影响的研究。这些跨学科和翻译主题将引起美国国立卫生研究院研究界的广泛兴趣，并促进未来研究的战略伙伴关系。

The mission of NCI's Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics is to conduct comprehensive, high-quality, high-impact research to uncover the causes of cancer and the means of its prevention. DCEG maintains a national and international perspective, giving priority to emergent issues identified through epidemiologic, clinical, and laboratory observations, as well as to public health concerns identified by the NCI, Congress, regulatory agencies, and other appropriate bodies. The Division develops research resources and strategic partnerships in molecular epidemiology across NCI, NIH, and the global research community. The Division holds as its top priority the training and development of the next generation of scientists in cancer epidemiology and related fields. This conference supports every aspect of this mission: 1) Presentations will focus on future directions for the high quality, high impact research that is the hallmark of the Division. The proceedings of the symposium will be published, which will advance future research in the relevant fields across the biomedical community. 2) The event will serve as a training opportunity, particularly for junior investigators. Attendees will represent the full spectrum of the research community, from post-baccalaureate, pre-doctoral, and post-doctoral fellows to senior scientists. 3) The conference will highlight research that has significant impact on public health and medical practice. These interdisciplinary and translational topics will be of broad interest to the NIH research community and facilitate strategic partnerships for future research.
