NCI Cancer Research Data Commons

Within the NCI Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC), a single cloud-based infrastructure, cancer researchers can work in concert to access, analyze, share, and store a variety of data without the downtime of downloading. The CRDC allows researchers to perform cross-domain analysis of large data sets that can lead to new discoveries in cancer prevention, treatment, and diagnosis.
