NCI CRDC Launches New Website—datacommons.cancer.gov

The NCI Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC) launched a new website, datacommons.cancer.gov, for data scientists, informaticists, and researchers to explore, learn, and engage with the CRDC and its resources.

Cancer Data Aggregator Awarded

NCI Cancer Data Aggregator (CDA) Awarded to Consortium

Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research (FNLCR) awarded a contract to develop the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) Cancer Data Aggregator (CDA) to a consortium led by the Broad Institute, Institute for Systems Biology, Seven Bridges Genomics, and General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT), Inc. The CDA is a query engine that will help researchers to find, sort, and pull together data from across the NCI Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC), NCI Data Coordinating Centers (DCC), and other repositories.

New Data Set Cancer Genome Characterization Initiative (CGCI)

New Data in GDC: 212 Cervical Cancer Cases

NCI's Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC) has new data from the HIV+ Tumor Molecular Characterization Project (HTMCP).

New Data Set Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium

New Data in PDC and GDC: 110 Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cases

NCI’s Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC) has added new data sets from NCI’s Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Center (CPTAC), a national effort to accelerate the understanding of cancer’s molecular basis through large-scale proteome and genome analysis (a.k.a. proteogenomics).

CRDC Drives Data Sharing as a GA4GH Driver Project

The NCI Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC) is joining the ranks of the 23 international Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) driver projects. As a driver project, the CRDC will bring real-world data and experiences to guide the development of data sharing tools and standards.

NCI Announces the Launch of the NCI Proteomic Data Commons (PDC)

The PDC is a next-generation proteomic data repository within NCI’s Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC) with corresponding genomics and imaging data sets to enable data access, analysis, and sharing for integrative research.

The functionality of the cancer data aggregator can be described as this: a user is currently on a data portal or application. That application will connect to the Cancer Data Aggregator through an API that allows users to query parameters for data sets. The aggregator then queries across the Cancer Research Data Commons, NCI Data Coordinating Centers, and other NIH repositories, aggregating data that matches that query. The data will return to the aggregator to be transformed through a common data model.

Submit a Proposal to Build the Cancer Data Aggregator (CDA) by February 18

Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research requests proposals to develop a query engine called the Cancer Data Aggregator (CDA). The CDA will allow users to aggregate data via queries across the Human Tumor Atlas Network, the NCI Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC) nodes, and other Data Coordinating Centers and repositories with which NCI plans to interoperate.

New CPTAC Data Relase on the GDC

Genomic Data Commons (GDC) Data Release Includes New Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) Project Data

New Glioblastoma Multiforme Data Released to the Proteomic Data Commons (PDC)

New proteomic and phosphoproteomic data from the Adult Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) Discovery Study are now available on the NCI Cancer Research Data Commons' Proteomic Data Commons (PDC).

National Cancer Institute Imaging Data Commons Poster won a Certificate of Merit at RSNA19. This poster outlines the components and details of the Imaging Data Commons: it's place within the Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC), the IDC, IDC Minimum Value Product, Guiding Principles for the Development, Standardization (DICOM), IDC vs. The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA), the tentative implementation timeline, the Cloud Platform (Google Cloud), Image Visualization (OHIF), and Use Cases.

NCI CRDC Imaging Data Commons Team Wins Certificate of Merit Award for Educational Poster Exhibit at RSNA 2019

The NCI Cancer Research Data Commons’ (CRDC) Imaging Data Commons (IDC) team received a Certificate of Merit award for its educational poster exhibit at the 105th annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
