- The National Cancer Institute (NCI), Cancer Information Service Program plans to enter into a sole source contract with Marion Morra, Milford, CT. This procurement will provide cancer communication expertise and support to International CIS activities, projects, and relationships. In particular, work to advance the development of an effort begun at the recent International Cancer Information Service (ICISG) meetings held in July 2002 in Oslo. This project requires the building of relationships necessary to intermesh the ICISG mandate and its future directions with the new strategic directions of the International Union Against Cancer (UICC) thereby creating a more formal working relationship between the two organizations. In addition, work in the planning of the 4th UICC Global Conference to assure a primary role for the ICISG. The Cancer Information Service is a national resource for information and education about cancer and a leader in translating cancer information into terms the public can easily understand. The CIS is a program of the National Cancer Institute, the Nation's lead agency for cancer research. Through its network of 14 regional offices, the Cancer Information Service serves the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Cancer Information Service is comprised of three program areas that educate people about cancer. The Contractor shall provide a systematic method for technology transfer to and among other countries, especially for those countries who are underdeveloped. This shall include exploring the learning needs and techniques of those who will be using the information, designing the program, establishing the teaching methods and materials, devising standards for quality and for evaluation, and overseeing the preparation of necessary materials, Web content and other learning tools. The Contractor shall explore the research possibilities between and among the existing services.

At the 2002 UICC meeting in Oslo, she was instrumental in bringing together potential ICISG collaborators as well as in helping set the future directions for the ICISG.
