    NCI's Office of Data Sharing (ODS) is kicking off a monthly webinar series for jamboree project teams to share their findings, lessons learned, and future directions in January 2026!

    ODS launched its inaugural data jamboree focusing on pediatric and AYA cancer on September 29 – 30, 2025, in conjunction with its 3rd Annual Symposium. This event aimed to overcome barriers in finding, accessing, and utilizing cancer research data, facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations, and gain real-time feedback and suggestions of areas of improvement. In merely 1.5 days, 23 interdisciplinary project teams formed to tackle specific problems in several broad project categories, including enhancing data interoperability, building study cohorts, developing, or validating informatics tools and pipelines, evaluating data quality and AI-readiness, integrating, and analyzing data, and developing tutorials and educational materials. 

    If you are an individual with a disability who needs reasonable accommodations to participate in this event, please contact Nathan Boyd at nathan.boyd@nih.gov by February 16.
