FROM INQUIRY TO IMPACT
It’s been a momentous year for the National Cancer Institute’s Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences. We celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program, our nation’s premier source for cancer statistics. We also made progress in the six future directions for research that we and the cancer control community identified and unveiled in 2022, and we supported research toward the eight goals of the recently launched National Cancer Plan.
This year’s Overview and Highlights gives a report on our progress in these endeavors and opportunities for future growth, so that we can continue to have an impact and advance the science to help reduce the consequences of cancer for all.

About DCCPS
In 1997, NCI established DCCPS to enhance its ability to alleviate the burden of cancer through cancer control research. This research generates basic knowledge about how to monitor and change individual and collective behavior, and to ensure that knowledge is translated into practice and policy rapidly, effectively, and efficiently.
