International Lymphoma Epidemiology Consortium

The InterLymph Consortium, or formally the International Consortium of Investigators Working on Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Epidemiologic Studies, is an open scientific forum for epidemiologic research in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Formed in 2001, the Consortium is a group of international investigators who have completed or have ongoing case-control studies and who discuss and undertake research projects that pool data across studies or otherwise undertake collaborative research. The InterLymph Consortium with its five working groups conducts annual meetings to discuss, coordinate and develop ongoing and future research projects. The 2009 meeting is going to be held on July 20-22 at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC, Canada. For more information contact Annelie Landgren, NCI’s Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG).

Support for logistical needs of the Consortium is provided by NCI's Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG), which is the intramural (in house) research component of the Institute, and the Epidemiology and Genetics Research Program (EGRP) of the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS), which manages the epidemiology grant program for the Institute, Bethesda, Maryland; the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), Lyon, France; and the Leukaemia Research Fund, London, England. Some investigators within the Consortium also have grant support for research projects through EGRP.
