The National Cancer Institute is launching a 21st century information initiative that will transform the way we do cancer research. We are creating a network that will freely connect the entire cancer community. In doing so, we are leveraging valuable resources and saving precious time toward new discoveries.

New visitors are encouraged to visit About caBIG^®. View caBIG^® Essentials, an interactive (Adobe Flash) overview, for an introduction to important terminology, key concepts, and different ways of connecting with caBIG^®. You can also visit Getting Connected to learn about key concepts. If you are already familiar with caBIG^® but looking for a synopsis of recent activities by the workspaces and SIGs look at What's BIG This Week and the monthly newsletter caBIG^® Links. If you are looking for more information on support and training please visit Getting Support.

Solving Basic and Clinical Research Challenges in Cancer and Beyond The 2009 Annual Meeting will take place on July 20-22, 2009. The meeting will feature case studies from across the continuum of integrative research; highlights from the cancer community; hands-on programs for developers; and more. Learn More
