The GIS Special Interest Group (GISSIG) at the National Cancer Institute was
established in 1999. At first restricted to NCI staff, membership has expanded to include
staff in other NIH institutes, NCI contractors, government GIS staff in the area, and professors
at area universities active in GIS. The group meets at least 6 times per year,
usually at the Statistical Research and Applications Branch offices in Rockville, MD,
to discuss issues related to the collection, analysis, and dissemination of georeferenced
cancer data. Seminar speakers are often invited from other agencies or local
universities.
Washington, DC-area researchers interested in joining GISSIG should send an inquiry to
the gis.cancer.gov Web staff.
New software tools and other newly-released GIS information from this group
will be posted in the public section of the GIS.cancer.gov Web site. The benefit of
GISSIG membership is notification of NCI GIS-related seminars in the Rockville, MD area.
