Abstract:

The Informatics Technology for Cancer Research (ITCR) Program is a trans-National Cancer Institute (NCI) grant program supporting investigator-initiated informatics technology development driven by critical needs in cancer research. In February 2018, NCI asked the IDA Science and Technology Policy Institute (STPI) to conduct three activities: (1) facilitate an expert panel process intended to provide evaluative insights regarding the programs rationale and impact to date; (2) survey current and former ITCR awardees to identify the programs role in fostering collaboration; and (3) conduct a set of case studies of ITCR impact at an award level. This document responds to the third and final charge and presents the results of 11 case studies of ITCR-supported technologies.
