• the appropriateness of the plan goals, strategies, and implementation tactics.
• opportunities for partnerships with NIH to achieve the plan goals.
• tools that support cancer research through data science.
• emerging research needs and opportunities that you think are missing from the plan.
• additional topics you feel are relevant for NIH to consider.
