Population-based Research to Optimize the Screening Process (PROSPR) Initiative: Research Activities and Data Sharing Webinar

Background

PROSPR, or Population-based Research to Optimize the Screening Process, is an NCI-funded research network whose goal is to better understand how to improve the cervical, colorectal, and lung cancer screening processes (recruitment, screening, diagnosis, referral for treatment) in community healthcare settings in the United States. This webinar provides an overview of on-going PROSPR research as well as PROSPR DataShare (PDS), a web-based system that facilitates data sharing between PROSPR grantees and non-PROSPR researchers. Non-PROSPR researchers can use PDS to access PROSPR public use data sets and apply for custom subsets of PROSPR data. Webinar attendees will gain knowledge of specific PROSPR research projects, types of PROSPR data that can be requested, and the data request process.
