TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Epidemiology and Genomics Research Program (EGRP) SeqSPACE Webinar Survey

PURPOSE: The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Epidemiology and Genomics Research Program (EGRP) funds research in human populations to understand the causes of cancer and related outcomes. The Program fosters interdisciplinary collaborations and the development and use of resources and technologies to advance cancer research and its translation to serve as the basis for clinical and public health interventions.

Since 2014, the Epidemiology and Genomics Research Program has hosted the "Sequencing Strategies for Population and Cancer Epidemiology Studies (SeqSPACE)" webinar series. The purpose of this forum is to provide an opportunity for NCI grantees and other interested individuals to share lessons learned and practical information regarding the application of next generation sequencing to cancer epidemiology studies.

The results of this survey will be used to assess the impact of the webinar series and inform the planning process for any future SeqSPACE webinars.
