Researchers at Indiana University School of Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Washington University in St. Louis, the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, and Intel received a five-year, $3.7 million NCI grant for a multi-site study developing a privacy-preserving artificial intelligence approach—called federated learning—which aims to improve breast cancer risk prediction and reduce health inequities in cancer prevention care.
Over the course of his first six months as NCI director, Anthony Letai has contended with federal budget turbulence, a record-setting government shutdown, and concerns about the flow of over research dollars.
