February 4, 2011 Behavioral, Population, Epidemiology, and Prevention Provocative Questions Workshop
Twenty-six cancer researchers assembled at the Stone House on the NIH campus on February 4, 2011 for the NCI Behavioral, Population, Epidemiology, and Prevention Provocative Questions workshop. The participants were invited by the project's organizers to craft a list of interesting questions that might highlight potential new research directions among NCI-supported investigators or reinvigorate research in important areas that have been neglected, and to discuss and evaluate some of the questions submitted by the participants prior to the workshop.
Over the course of several hours of presentations of proposed scientific questions and animated responses to them, followed up by email correspondence, the participants informally endorsed six provocative questions.
