Check out the latest quarterly updates made to terminologies and ontologies developed and maintained by NCI’s Enterprise Vocabulary Services (EVS) including the NCI Thesaurus and the Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium’s (CDISC’s) controlled terminology. EVS content developed in collaboration with CDISC, FDA, NCI programs, and other stakeholders is an indispensable component of NCI’s informatics infrastructure. EVS not only plays a critical role in federal and global data standards but also provides services to accurately code, analyze, and share cancer and biomedical research.

NCI has reissued a Funding Opportunity Announcement soliciting applications for a Data, Evaluation, and Coordinating Center (DECC) for the Connecting Underrepresented Populations to Clinical Trials program (CUSP2CT). Letters of Intent are due February 26, 2022, and applications are due March 28, 2022.

NCI’s Office of Cancer Clinical Proteomics Research’s new blog highlights recent findings from scientists in the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium. It describes a proof-of-concept approach to identifying fraudulent data in biological data sets.

This summer, intern at NIH’s National Library of Medicine in the Diversity in Data Science and Informatics (DDSI) research program to work alongside data science and informatics researchers.

In the latest episode of the Center for Cancer Genomics (CCG) podcast, “Personal Genomics,” CCG honors the work and legacy of Dr. Daniela S. Gerhard. Dr. Gerhard was a program director and passionate open data advocate who spent nearly two decades developing large-scale genomics and translational research programs at NCI.

NCI is looking for cancer researchers, who need access to comparative oncology data sets, to give feedback on the Integrated Canine Data Commons (ICDC) data portal and its tools.

In RAS-related diseases, such as cancer, mutations in the RAS genes or their regulators render RAS proteins persistently active. Investigating RAS activation events is challenging when using conventional techniques. An unprecedented multiscale platform is using machine learning to change that.

Do you have experience guiding the development of data analytics capabilities and managing the use of intramural and extramural cancer data in a large research organization? If so, consider joining NCI’s Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology as Chief of Data Ecosystems Branch in the Informatics and Data Science Program.

Do you have experience supervising clinical and translational informatics in cancer research and overseeing significant resources in a large research organization? If so, consider joining NCI’s Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology (CBIIT) as Chief of the Clinical and Translational Research Informatics Branch (CTRIB) in the Informatics and Data Science Program.

NIH needs input on potential updates to the NIH Genomic Data Sharing Policy! As a researcher or data scientist, share your perspective related to cancer genomic data to help the policy keep pace with evolving scientific opportunities and stakeholder expectations. Responses to the Request for Information will be accepted through February 28, 2022.
