NCI Office of Communications and Education (OCE)

OCE has been a partner in EVS since 1999, providing much of the seed terminology and development effort for NCIt, and contributing to and using EVS in many ways, including:

  • NCIt drug information used in the PDQ clinical trials database.
  • NCI Drug Dictionary: NCI Thesaurus provides original definitions for the drugs presented in this tool, with about 40,000 visitors monthly (see section 3).
  • NCIt terminology for cancers and related conditions, procedures, and chemotherapy regimens, involving many years of development and harmonization between PDQ and NCIt terminology.
  • NCI Glossary includes lay definitions for key cancer terms, and is incorporated into NCI Thesaurus.

NCI Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS)

DCCPS collaboration includes several terminology projects related to cancer classification, drugs, chemotherapy regimens, and statistics. DCCPS is currently launching a new initiative on standardized terminology for population health data collection.

NCI Division of Extramural Activities (DEA)

DEA is supported by EVS, which helps collect, develop and map grant-related terminology, including representing NCI in the NIH Research, Condition and Disease Categorization (RCDC) effort.

Other NCI

NCI Supported Cooperative Human Tissue Bank (CHTB): EVS has supported terminology creation and editing for this network of research institutions, which host NCI funded tissue facilities and services providing remnant human tissue and fluids from routine procedures to investigators (NCI, Vanderbilt, U. Penn, UAB School of Medicine, Nationwide Children's Hospital, Ohio State, University of Virginia) There is active use by 14 academic and research organizations and eight (8) commercial organizations. EVS staff assisted with matching up terminology used by these groups to NCIt terminology, creating new NCIt concepts and definitions as needed.
