Educational Objectives
The primary educational objective of these seminars is to provide new information, ideas, and discussion about timely areas of research that impact the field of oncology. A secondary educational objective is to elicit participation by individuals from all divisions of the intramural NCI, and thus facilitate more interactions among investigators and groups in the NCI.
