2021 DaCCoTA Annual Symposium – Call for Abstracts for Poster Presentations Deadline

The goal of the Dakota Cancer Collaborative on Translational Activity (DaCCoTA) program is to stimulate growth of expertise and engagement in cancer-related clinical and translational research (CTR) in the Dakota region encompassed by the states of North and South Dakota.  Posters are expected to address cancer-related clinical and translational research. Posters can consider the multilevel manifestations of cancer (e.g., neurological, psychiatric), demographic risks, and/or social impact. Posters that focus on T2-T4 translational research will be given priority, although T1 studies will also be considered.
