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集来自世界各地的癌症监测专家大会。NAACCR自1987年以来一直为北美癌症监测科学家举办最具影响力和信息量的年度科学会议。NAACCR年会由来自北美各地的约400名癌症登记专业人员参加，他们来自所有基于人口的中央癌症登记处，癌症监测组织和大学。这是其最大的会议，其孩子为国家为基础的癌症登记参与癌症监测科学的进步，学习新技术，交流信息，并制定有效和具有成本效益的工作实践。与此同时，IACR在国际竞技场举办了34次年会，讨论与全球癌症监测有关的问题。我们计划首次将这个小组聚集在一起，以激发国际合作，创造性地解决问题，建立一个交流科学思想的论坛，并最终通过制定计划来改善全球癌症监测，使数据更具可比性，有用性和信息性。本次会议赠款的目的是：召开一次科学界领导人会议，展示癌症监测研究和方法的进展，并讨论提高全球数据可比性和实用性的方法。本次会议是相关的NCI使命，通过提供培训，在癌症监测和支持癌症控制，通过准确的数据。癌症监测数据（即SEER数据）构成了每年无数癌症研究的支柱。使用的方法将是规划和实施一个世界级的科学会议，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、讲座、分享科学成果、辩论和建立网络的机会将在实现这一目标方面发挥重要作用。此外，本发明还提供了一种方法， 我们计划资助资源不足国家的代表登记，以鼓励他们出席这两个会议。这次会议为在科学领域往往代表性不足的群体，即妇女和少数群体提供了一个极好的参与机会。妇女占NAACCR和IACR会议代表的大多数，代表来自北美各州和各省以及数百个国家。

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.
