NCI's Cancer Moonshot℠ Biobank will engage diverse participants with advanced cancers to create a longitudinal collection of biospecimens and clinical data supporting research on treatment resistance and sensitivity. The Biobank has created a patient-and-provider engagement website with public-facing content as well as secure sign-in for participants and providers to access their biomarker reports, signed consent forms, and other resources. The website has integration points with the Oncology Patient Enrollment Network (OPEN) and clinical laboratories.
This webinar will introduce the website and highlight approaches, functionalities, IT challenges, and lessons learned. The Moonshot Biobank participant-and-provider website may serve as an archetype within NCI for new participant engagement efforts. Visit the website at
