First Combined Conference of the North American Association of Central Cancer Reg

描述(由申请人提供)：本申请的目标是在北美中央癌症登记协会(NAACCR)和国际中央癌症登记协会(IACR)的联合会议上首次召开来自世界各地的癌症监测专家大会。自1987年以来，NAACCR为北美的癌症监测科学家主办了最有影响力和信息量最大的年度科学会议。来自北美各地的大约400名癌症登记专业人员参加了NAACCR年度会议，他们来自所有以人口为基础的中央癌症登记机构、癌症监测组织和大学。这是该州癌症登记机构参与癌症监测科学进步，学习新技术，交流信息，并制定高效和具有成本效益的工作实践的最大规模的会议。与此同时，IACR在国际舞台上主办了34次年度会议，讨论与全球癌症监测有关的问题。我们计划首次将这一小组聚集在一起，以引发国际合作，创造性地解决问题，建立一个科学思想交流的论坛，并最终通过制定计划，使数据更具可比性、更有用和更有信息性，来改善全球癌症监测。这一会议赠款的目的是：为科学世界领导人召开一次会议，展示癌症监测研究和方法方面的进展，并讨论提高全球数据的可比性和实用性的方法。这次会议通过提供癌症监测方面的培训，并通过准确的数据支持癌症控制，与NCI的使命相关。癌症监测数据(即SEER数据)构成了每年无数癌症研究的支柱。所使用的方法将是规划和实施一次世界级的科学会议，包括研讨会、分组会议、小组讨论、主题演讲、全体会议和海报。课堂学习、讲课、分享科学成果、辩论和建立联系的机会将在实现这一目标方面发挥重要作用。此外, 我们计划通过资助资源不足国家的代表登记来鼓励出席这两次会议。这次会议为在科学界往往代表性不足的群体，即妇女和少数群体的参与提供了一个极好的机会。在NAACCR和IACR会议上，妇女占代表的大多数，代表来自北美每个州和省，以及数百个国家。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this application is to convene for the first time a congress of cancer surveillance experts from around the world at a joint conference of the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR) and the International Association of Central Cancer Registries (IACR). NAACCR has hosted the most influential and informative annual scientific conference for cancer surveillance scientists in North America since 1987. The NAACCR Annual Conference is attended by approximately 400 cancer registry professionals from across North America drawing from all population-based central cancer registries, cancer surveillance organizations and universities. It is the largest meeting of its kid for state-based cancer registries to participate in the advancement of cancer surveillance science, learn new techniques, exchange information, and develop efficient and cost-effective work practices. Meanwhile IACR has hosted 34 annual meetings in the international arena, to discuss issues related to cancer surveillance worldwide. We plan to bring this group together for the first time to spark international collaboration, creative problem solving, a forum for the exchange of scientific ideas, and ultimately to improve cancer surveillance worldwide by developing plans to make the data more comparable, useful, and informative. The objective of this conference grant is to: Convene a conference for scientific world leaders to demonstrate advances in research and methods in cancer surveillance and discuss methods to improve comparability and utility of data globally. This conference is relevant to the NCI mission by providing training in cancer surveillance and supporting cancer control through accurate data. Cancer surveillance data (i.e. SEER data) forms the backbone of countless cancer research studies each year. The methods used will be the planning and implementation of a world-class scientific conference, with workshops, break-out sessions, panel discussions keynotes, plenaries, and posters. Opportunities for class room learning, lecture, sharing of scientific results, debate and networking will play an important role in achieving the objective. In addition, we plan to encourage attendance at both meetings by subsidizing registration for delegates from under- resourced countries. This conference provides an excellent opportunity for participation by groups that are often underrepresented in science, namely women and minority groups. Women make up the majority of delegates at NAACCR and IACR meetings and representation comes from every state and province in North America, and hundreds of countries.
