About CCIS
The CCIS was founded in 2019 as a public effort where Cancer Moonshot investigators, as well as other researchers and practitioners, work together to address key challenges and advance the IS agenda in cancer.
The objectives of CCIS are to:
- 1Foster communication among those engaged in IS projects across the cancer continuum.
- 2Identify and develop solutions to common theoretical, methodological, or empirical challenges in IS in cancer.
- 3Promote collaborative projects among grantees and others to fill IS gaps that would extend beyond a single study.
