Infographic describing the goals of the childhood cancer institute. The introductory paragraph reads: “National Cancer Institute. NCI Childhood Cancer Data Initiative – The Whole is Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts. Childhood cancer data is often stored at the hospital or institution where a child is treated. No single institution treats enough children to move research forward. Let’s learn more to improve the future for children, adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer by connecting this data and sharing it with the entire cancer research community.” The infographic shows a puzzle piece with an image of a childhood cancer patient connecting to a cloud with the label "CCDI." Each puzzle piece represents a different program aim connecting to the cloud. The puzzle pieces are labeled as follows: "1. Build a strong base: Progress requires data from many sources that is connected and easy to access." "2. Assemble better data: Complete data sets are needed to understand each type of cancer." "3. Improve treatments: Data is the foundation that informs new treatments and improves lives faster." "4. Make data easy to use: More thoughtful tools for analyzing data will help answer important questions." Across the cloud icon is a final image of the same childhood cancer patients with the tagline “Piece it together: The Childhood Cancer Data Initiative is completing the puzzle to learn from and help heal children, teens, and young adults with cancer.” The bottom of the infographic reads, “cancer.gov #data4childhoodcancer.”
