# 2020 Annual Conference Grant: American Society of Preventive Oncology

> **NIH NIH R13** · UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON · 2020 · $27,500

## Abstract

ABSTRACT
The mission of the American Society of Preventive Oncology (ASPO) is the exchange and translation of
scientific information to reduce the cancer burden and for the continued development of investigators involved
in cancer prevention and control. The 44th ASPO Annual Meeting will be held at the Marriott Tucson University
Park, Tucson, Arizona, March 21-24, 2020. The specific aims of the annual meeting and this conference grant
are to: 1) provide multidisciplinary forums for the exchange of scientific information; 2) foster implementation
and broaden dissemination of scientific discoveries; and 3) provide exceptional professional development to
investigators at any career stage, but especially early career investigators, to maximize their potential for
success. This application requests partial support for the 2020 ASPO Annual Meeting, which is a keystone of
this multidisciplinary organization and the preventive oncology community. ASPO's annual meeting provides a
high quality program that fosters new opportunities for early career, mid-career and senior investigators whose
careers are focused on the primary, secondary and tertiary prevention of cancer. The 2020 ASPO Annual
Meeting, scheduled over 3 days, is organized to consist of 4 symposia, 4 submitted paper sessions, 2 award
lectures, 4 Special Interest Group breakfast sessions, a networking mixer, a poster session, and—for the first
time—a Community Scientist session. Pre-meeting workshops include multiple professional development
sessions, a meeting of cancer center Associate Directors and Program Leaders for Cancer Prevention and
Control, and a meeting for NCI training grant directors. Breakfast roundtable discussions are organized by
Special Interest Groups tasked to move the field forward in specific topical areas highly relevant to the ASPO
mission. Meeting planning takes satisfaction surveys from previous annual conferences into account. Abstracts
will be solicited beginning in September 2019. The 16 abstracts receiving the highest peer reviewed rankings
will be published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention and presented orally during submitted
paper sessions and the poster session. We anticipate that over 175 posters will be presented. Multiple
initiatives including this conference grant—which requests travel support for minority investigators, early career
scientists, and community scientists—enhance the diversity of the meeting attendees, program committee, and
invited speakers. All meetings are held in non-smoking, ADA accessible conference facilities. Journal and
online advertisements, posters and direct mail will publicize the meeting. Over 350 participants are anticipated
to attend the Annual Meeting. Speakers and participants are from multiple disciplines in cancer prevention and
control research and represent fields concerned with translating evidence into effective prevention and control
programs. By fostering communication among multidisciplinary professio...
