Agenda

Agenda ItemWhoNotes
Sunsetting or Repurposing the BPSC Group Discussion

First New ICDC Subcommittee: Longitudinal Data Acquisition and Use Committee (LDAUC)

Purpose: Formulate scientific questions and use cases that can be used to interrogate longitudinal datasets that would justify the ingestion of such data into the ICDC.

Group Discussion

  • New ICDC Subcommitee 1-pager
  • Should we sunset the Best Practices Subcommittee?
  • Matthew Breen has offered to lead this subcommittee
  • Should we send the questionnaire out to all Steering Committee members? 
  • Ralph and Toby talked with Dan Promislow about the Dog Aging Project. Working out details.

Second New ICDC Subcommittee: Cross-Species Mapping Committee (CSMC)

Purpose: Facilitation of human-canine comparative data analysis from the ICDC and other nodes in the CRDC using interoperability components such as Cancer Data Aggregator and aligning with data standards

Group Discussion

  • ICDC Cross-Species Mapping Collaboration.docx 1-pager
  • Does this effort need a new subcommittee?
    • Nicky Mason and James Dattilo are interested
  • Activities
    • Build consensus data standards between human and canine data elements
    • Mapping existing data elements in the ICDC to caDSR II to facilitate the findability of canine data related to human data through platforms such as the Cancer Data Aggregator.  
  • How can we leverage a potential collaboration with Data for the Commons Good (DCG) team?
    • The DCG team is in the process of mapping data elements from the Pediatric Cancer Data Commons to caDSRII and is willing to work with us to share common data elements CDEs


Meeting Minutes (Not Verbatim)

HG - Canine cells have unique signatures compared to human cell lines. No good atlas for canine terminology. Standardize approaches for validating data. Human tools used for canine analysis can lead to inaccurate results. May be submitting R24 for this in OREP as a resource for model systems. 

CL - Must be justified beyond just dogs with cancer. Need buy in from other institutes. This is a community effort. Information gained can be interfaced with the ICDC.

DD - Anne Avery may be helpful in identifying different populations of immune cells.

CL - She is part of the group.


Action items

  • Cheryl will be responding to the CGC about a potential series of ICDC webinars.

  • Gina to add Heather Gardner, Amy LeBlanc, Ralph, Dawn Duval to the new subcommittee (LDAUC).
