The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) has announced the three recipients of its CancerLinQ Discovery® Research Support Grant. The awardees will undertake research projects using data from CancerLinQ Discovery®, an offering of ASCO’s CancerLinQ® initiative that provides de-identified data from cancer patients to academic researchers, government agencies, and others in the oncology community to generate practical knowledge that will improve cancer care.
CancerLinQ® collects and analyses real-world data from patients at practices nationwide, drawing from electronic health records. The CancerLinQ Discovery® de-identified data sets are derived from the vast pool of data contributed by participating practices. The research projects funded by this grant are consistent with ASCO’s mission to conquer cancer through research, education, and promotion of the highest quality patient care; are being addressed using CancerLinQ Discovery® data; and will publish the findings in medical journals.
The grants are being funded by the Mission Endowment of Conquer Cancer®, The ASCO Foundation. Each one-year grant covers the cost of a CancerLinQ Discovery® data set and a kickoff meeting at ASCO headquarters and contributes to personnel and/or research expenses.
CancerLinQ® and CancerLinQ Discovery® are projects of CancerLinQ LLC.
