HPV Cancer Center Consortium
The mission of the HPV Cancer Center Consortium is to convene cancer centers to catalyze research, foster partnerships and advance equitable HPV vaccination to reduce the burden of HPV-related cancers.
Systemic Effects of Cancer Think Tank
The Systemic Effects of Cancer Think Tank brings together researchers of metastasis, cancer cachexia and systems biology to discuss our understanding of the molecular and physiological dynamics between cancer and the patient. By understanding how the macroenvironment and inter-organ communication changes in response to cancer, we may be able to leverage these changes to improve patient outcomes.
24th Annual CCR Fellows and Young Investigators Colloquium
The 2024 CCR Fellows and Young Investigators Colloquium is an annual two-day event. We are offering keynote addresses from extramural and intramural speakers along with panels and workshops to highlight the career development of CCR fellows. The Colloquium will be held on April 18-19, 2024 and is open to all NCI fellows and trainees. Registration is supported by the NCI's Center for Cancer Training.
NCI Rising Scholars: Cancer Research Seminar Series
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has launched a new virtual seminar series titled NCI Rising Scholars: Cancer Research Seminar Series. This monthly seminar series is an opportunity to highlight the research and the important contributions made by NCI-supported postdoctoral fellows and early career investigators at NCI laboratories and NCI-funded institutions nationwide.
Workshop on Synthetic Biology for Molecular Imaging in Cancer
To facilitate the reach and impact of synthetic biology on molecular cancer imaging, the Cancer Imaging Program in the NCI plans to convene a two-day virtual workshop (April 22-23, 2024) on Synthetic Biology for Molecular Imaging in Cancer. The workshop will seek input from experts in the scientific community to evaluate the potential of synthetic bioengineering methodologies in advancing molecular cancer imaging for research and clinical application. The overarching goal is to identify new opportunities, delineate the key challenges, and develop strategies to overcome these challenges. We envision this workshop will be a steppingstone to spur discussion and collaboration among scientists to match synthetic bioengineering design principles with agent and tool development in cancer imaging.
20th Annual CCR and DCEG Staff Scientist and Staff Clinician Retreat
The National Cancer Institute's Center for Cancer Research (CCR), Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG), and the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research (FNLCR) will hold their 19th Annual Retreat for all Staff Scientists and Staff Clinicians on Monday, April 24, 2023. This is an opportunity to highlight the amazing work performed by Staff Scientists and Staff Clinicians and to foster future collaborations.
Annual HIV DRP Think Tank Meeting
The HIV Dynamics and Replication Program (HIV DRP), Center for Cancer Research (CCR), National Cancer Institute (NCI), will hold their 27th Annual DRP Think Tank Meeting, on Tuesday, April 30, 2024.

SCLC Consortium Meeting
This hybrid meeting will host national and international experts in the dynamic field of SCLC research. It will cover the most recent developments in SCLC biology, models, tumor heterogeneity and plasticity, immunology and immunotherapy, new therapy targets, and treatment resistance. The sessions will aim to develop collaborative approaches to address key questions in the field and define promising scientific areas.
NCI Program Staff and patient advocates with an interest in SCLC are also invited guests. We hope this venue will enable data sharing with the intent to offer many new collaborative opportunities within the SCLC community.
12th Annual Symposium on Global Cancer Research
The 12th Annual Symposium on Global Cancer Research (ASGCR) will be held virtually as a satellite meeting to the 14th Annual Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH) Global Health Conference. The Symposium is organized through a collaboration with the US National Cancer Institute Center for Global Health; CUGH; the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO); the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR); the African Organisation for Research and Training in Cancer (AORTIC); the American Society of Preventive Oncology (ASPO); and Red de Institutos e Instituciones Nacionales de Cáncer – Sociedad Latino Americana y del Caribe De Oncología Médica (RINC-SLACOM).
Rare Cancers Prevention and Interception Workshop
The main goals of the workshop are to: 1) Identify challenges and knowledge gaps and explore research opportunities in rare cancers research. 2) Identify research gaps and develop strategic planning with emphasis on understudied research areas in rare cancers. 3) Explore important research questions that will lead to developing better ways of prevention and interception against rare cancers. 4) Finding ways to facilitate networking (researchers, clinicians, patient advocates) among the stakeholders and engage them for the benefit of the patient community.
Implementation Science Centers in Cancer Control
The ISC3 Annual Grantee Meeting will focus on sustainability, community partnerships, and building implementation science structure in low- and middle-income countries. The meeting will feature presentations, interactive breakouts, and discussion sessions to encourage more engagement and discussion on Building and Sustaining Implementation Science Structure.
