8^Th Annual Symposium on Global Cancer Research: Participant Satisfaction Survey

Thank you for your participation in the 8th Annual Symposium on Global Cancer Research, “Creative approaches to global cancer research and control”. The organizing committee would like to get an understanding if we achieved our core objectives and ideas for improvements for the future. The objectives of this full-day Symposium on Global Cancer Research were to: (1) provide a venue for the global oncology research community to exchange information to identify potential areas for collaboration; (2) engage in interactive discussion about the findings and potential implications of the 2018-2019 Global Oncology Survey of NCI-Designated Cancer Centers for the global oncology community; (3) develop a set of strategic priorities for advancing the field of global oncology in both low and high resource settings – with a focus on topics such as research priorities to address the full spectrum of cancer disparities, training needs, mentorship and capacity building, institutional leadership, and access to resources (infrastructure, human, financial); and (4) share initiatives that are reducing the burden of cancer in low resource settings. This survey should take approximately 5-10 minutes of your time.

Thank you,
