AWARDS PROVIDE FUNDING TO COVER MEETING, REGISTRATION AND TRAVEL EXPENSES TO THE CONFERENCES. IN PROVIDING THESE WARDS, THE FOUNDATION SEEKS TO BOTH SUPPORT AND PROMOTE COLORECTAL CANCER RESEARCH. THE FOUNDATION HAS A SPECIAL INTEREST IN THE BIOLOGY OF EARLY AGE ONSET AND HEREDITARY COLORECTAL CANCER.

THE GOAL OF THE SYMPOSIUM WAS TO HAVE AN INTERACTIVE SYMPOSIUM WHICH INCLUDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS BOTH THE VALUE OF AND BARRIERS TO COLLECTING AND ACTING UPON THE CANCER FAMILY HISTORY. THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THE SYMPOSIUM WAS TO ASSESS HOW THE NCCRT FAMILY HISTORY AND EARLY ONSET TASK GROUP, ITS MEMBERS AND ITS PARTNERS COULD MOST EFFECTIVELY ALIGN TO TRANSFORM FAMILY HEALTHY HISTORY ASCERTAINMENT AND COLORECTAL CANCER PREVENTIVE SERVICES IN PRIMARY CARE.
