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^®. You are also invited to view the 2008 caBIG^® Annual Report. 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.

caBIG® Annual Meeting Materials Available Materials from the 2009 caBIG® Annual Meeting are now posted to the Web site. Available are slides from Plenary and Breakout Session presentations, poster abstracts, Hack-a-thon materials, and more. Learn More

The caBIG® Resource Guide The caBIG® program offers a variety of resources to meet the diverse needs of audiences across the biomedical research enterprise. To help show the connection between caBIG® resources and these needs, the Resource Guide presents different scenarios. Each scenario includes a list of the most highly utilized resources offered by caBIG® to meet the needs described in the scenario. Learn More
