Data Management and Harmonization Across Cancer Epidemiology Cohorts

基于队列的研究帮助研究人员更好地了解癌症的复杂病因，并为这种疾病及其结果的关键环境，生活方式，临床和遗传决定因素提供了基本见解。美国国家癌症研究所（NCI）流行病学和基因组学研究计划（EGRP）支持国家和国际癌症流行病学队列（CEC），专注于常见和罕见癌症的学科内和转化研究。通过有针对性的倡议，如资助机会，为癌症流行病学研究提供核心基础设施和方法研究，

cohort-based studies have helped researchers to better understand the complex etiology of cancer, and have provided fundamental insights into key environmental, lifestyle, clinical, and genetic determinants of this disease and its outcomes. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Epidemiology and Genomics Research Program (EGRP) supports national and international cancer epidemiology cohorts (CECs) focusing on intradisciplinary and translational research on common and rare cancers. Support to CECs infrastructures is provided through targeted initiatives such as the funding opportunity Core Infrastructure and Methodological Research for Cancer Epidemiology Research
