Keep up with the latest news from the NCI Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology (CBIIT) and the data science communities.

NIH and NCI are participating in two funding opportunities to support the All of Us Research Program’s Researcher Workbench. These grants will help support analysis of the data for this program to advance research in cancer risk, early detection, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, cancer control, epidemiology, and health disparities.

You can use the funding to support data science training related to research on infectious- and immune-mediated disease, including cancer.
