Scientific stakeholders and leaders from academia, government, industry, and advocacy organizations gathered in Washington, DC, July 29–31, 2019, for the first CCDI symposium—a scientific meeting that gained a common understanding of the current issues and opportunities in childhood cancer research that could be addressed through better data collection and utilization.

  1. scientific and clinical research data needs in childhood and AYA cancers 
  2. establishing meaningful datasets for clinical care and associated research progress
  3. building infrastructure to enable federation among disparate databases
