NCI will hold a workshop December 12 and 13 to help develop scientific priorities for cancer epidemiology research in the next decade. NCI's Epidemiology and Genomics Research Program (EGRP) recently launched a strategic planning effort and is soliciting input on the major questions facing cancer epidemiology research.

Workshop panelists will include prominent cancer researchers, as well as leaders from other NIH institutes and centers. NCI leaders Drs. Robert Croyle, Barry Kramer, Debbie Winn, Stephen Chanock, Robert Hoover, and Patricia Hartge plan to attend. Dr. Michael Lauer, a division director at the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, will also participate.

The workshop, "Trends in 21st Century Epidemiology: From Scientific Discoveries to Population Health Impact," will be held in Bethesda, MD. Those who cannot attend in person can view a videocast of the workshop and join a LinkedIn and Twitter chat. In preparation for the workshop, EGRP has blogged about topics related to the workshop sessions. Comments from researchers and other interested individuals are welcome.
