Information Standards Within the National Cancer Institute

Cancer Informatics

Part of the book series: Health Informatics ((HI))

Abstract

As a federal research institution, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) both funds a large portfolio of external research and conducts scientific research in its own laboratories. It creates, maintains, and analyzes data related to funding grants and contracts; manages a large science portfolio; conducts and shares research; and manages its internal operations. The science supported both internally and externally ranges from the most basic research to large-scale clinical trials conducted by national cooperative clinical trials groups. Now more than ever, with “business to business” interoperation and data sharing among the members of the cancer community, NCI must meet the challenge of managing millions of data points.
