The 2025 Paul Fearn Awards for Excellence
Event Date: January 22, 2026 Virtual Event
The NCI Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS) recently established the Paul Fearn Award for Excellence in Data Sharing to recognize DCCPS-funded investigators who have demonstrated a commitment to and excellence in data sharing. In this inaugural year of the award, we are acknowledging the efforts of many years of extramural work funded by DCCPS and have selected multiple recipients from four projects. These investigators and their teams demonstrated commitment to widespread public data sharing and went above and beyond their data sharing requirements. Please join us for a virtual webinar as we honor these awardees and discuss the future of data sharing within the field of population sciences.
