The National Cancer Institute (NCI) invites you to participate in the NCI Data Jamboree: Enhancing Data Sharing and Utility to Advance Cancer Research on November 16–18, 2026 at the NIH Neuroscience Center in Rockville, Maryland. This collaborative event will bring together researchers, trainees, citizen scientists, patients, and advocates to work in small teams and solve scientific and technical challenges using publicly available cancer research datasets.

Participants will gain hands-on experience in cohort building and visualization, data integration and analysis, contribute to the development and application of new tools and approaches, evaluate data quality and AI-readiness, and help identify gaps in existing resources. In-person participation is preferred, with virtual options available.
