CRDC colleagues will join a dynamic panel of presenters to share exciting updates on NCI’s collaboration with the Biomedical Data Fabric (BDF) Toolbox program, part of the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), highlighting how initiatives such as the Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI) are leveraging advances from this partnership. The session is scheduled for Monday, April 20, 2026, 10:15–11:15 AM, PST.

The CRDC team, whether engaged in activities specific to the CRDC Data Commons, NCI Cloud Resources, or CRDC’s Core Services, remains focused on advancing its mission of making data and resources securely accessible to the cancer research community. The team has provided updates. 

The Proteomic Data Commons (PDC) has upgraded its portal with new features that make it easier for researchers to explore proteomic data and link it with other cancer research data types. This updated 2.0 version enhances navigation, adds more information for each study, and offers clearer connections to related study data in the CRDC’s Genomic Data Commons (GDC) and Imaging Data Commons (IDC), as well as the Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA).   

The Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC) is committed to supporting the research community by making data from many NCI-funded programs accessible through CRDC’s various data commons, as well as through the NCI Cloud Resource, the Seven Bridges Cancer Genome Cloud (SB-CGC).
