ASCO Center for Research and Analytics (CENTRA)
The Center for Research and Analytics (CENTRA) supports ASCO’s mission of “conquering cancer through research, education, and promotion of the highest quality patient care” through its various research and analytic activities. CENTRA serves as a hub for ASCO research through the development of high-quality data assets, analyses that inform and support ASCO research priorities, and by providing oncology data for use by external researchers to foster innovation. CENTRA research activities include original ASCO research developed using data from the Targeted Agent and Profiling Utilization Registry (TAPUR), CancerLinQ Discovery®, and Practice Census. CENTRA provides resources for programs that support the research community, such as the Research Community Forum (RCF) and CENTRA’s latest research initiative, ASCO’s Research Survey Pool (RSP), that allows ASCO members to survey participating members of the oncology community for research purposes.
