customer feedback about the efficacy of
implemented modifications. These
surveys, which will be both quantitative
and qualitative, are designed to assess
the quality of services we provide to our
major external customers. Customers
include the research scientists who
submit applications for grant funding to
NIH. Those grant applications are
reviewed and ranked by the grant
scientific peer review study groups’
members and chairs. These surveys will
almost certainly lead to quality
improvement activities that will
enhance and/or streamline CSR’s
operations. Our partners include current
grant scientific peer review study

announcing the launch of the Using
Public Data for Cancer Prevention and
Control: From Innovation to Impact
Developer Challenge. This Challenge is
sponsored by the NCI and is presented
as part of the Office of the National
Coordinator for Health Information
Technology’s Investing in Innovation

NCI DCCPS mission to disseminate
information towards the prevention,
early detection, diagnosis, and treatment
and control of cancer. Specifically, the
contest supports the detection,
diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Subject of Challenge Competition
Entrants are asked to develop software
applications (apps) that utilize the wide
array of health-related data made
available by the NCI DCCPS and other
Federal agencies for innovative

address targets comprising DCCPS
priority areas on the continuum of
cancer prevention and control: https://
cancercontrol.cancer.gov/od/
index.html. Entrants are required to
address challenges faced by consumers,
clinicians, or researchers such as
behavior risk reduction for prevention/
survivorship (e.g., nutrition, physical
activity, smoking cessation), early
detection and screening, informed
decision-making, and adherence to
treatment regimens.
Eligibility Rules for Participating in the
Competition
To be eligible to win a prize under
this challenge, an individual or entity
shall have complied with all the
requirements under this section.
