Save the Date
Since 2010 we have worked closely with the Texas Cancer Registry (TCR) to combine information from various large databases like Medicare & Medicaid for research purposes. Our goals have evolved to include connecting TCR databases with national surveys to improve research on patient outcomes. We also aim to train new researchers in comparative effective research (CER) across Texas, especially those who are underrepresented. Join us for a workshop on April 18th, 2025 to learn more. Lunch will be provided at noon for those registering for both AM & PM sessions.
Date & Time: April 18, 2025, 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Registration: Register online by March 15.
Location: 5323 Harry Hines Blvd., Green Research Bldg, Y02.206, Dallas, TX-75390
Contact: Anirudh Babu at asbabu@utmb.edu if you would like to schedule a consultation for your project.
Presented by: UTMB Health School of Public and Population Health.
