EGRP-Supported Epidemiology Consortia
The Epidemiology and Genetics Research Program (EGRP) is supporting 33 consortia that are conducting research on a wide variety of types of cancer. These consortia include cohort, case-control, and familial designs.
Many of the consortia have grants through EGRP, while other consortia receive other forms of support such as in identifying potential partners with similar research interests and groups with which to link, and advice on policies and processes that have proven useful and successful with other consortia. See EGRP assistance available to consortia. Below is a list of EGRP-supported consortia, along with links to summary information about the consortia. The EGRP Scientific Consortia Coordinator is Daniela Seminara, Ph.D., M.P.H.; e-mail: seminard@mail.nih.gov.
