Population-based Research to Optimize the Screening Process (PROSPR) Initiative: Research Activities and Data Sharing Webinar

Presentation/Conference

September 20, 2022 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. ET

Looking to access public-use data sets to get a feel for cancer screening process data? Attend this webinar to learn about PROSPR, or Population-based Research to Optimize the Screening Process, and the web-based system (PROSPR DataShare) that can facilitate data sharing between PROSPR grantees and non-PROSPR researchers, including cancer researchers.

From this webinar, you’ll gain a knowledge of:

specific PROSPR research projects.
the types of data that can be requested.
the data request process and how to apply for custom subsets of PROSPR data.

PROSPR is an NCI-funded research network with the goal of better understanding how to improve the cervical, colorectal, and lung cancer screening processes in U.S. community healthcare settings.
