No. NCDIR/Admin/Advt./1/2013
Applications are invited for the following two (2) posts:
This new permanent institute of ICMR has been commenced with the main
objective of developing a national research data-base on cancer, diabetes, CVD
and stroke through recent advances in electronic information technology with a
national collaborative network, so as to undertake aetiological, epidemiological,
clinical and control research in these areas. The creation of this new centre is
against the background of the work done under the National Cancer Registry
Programme (NCRP) and the specific research activities that have gone into it since
the commencement of the programme in 1982. The entire activity of the NCRP
and the projects under it has been directed, monitored and executed by the
Coordinating Unit of the NCRP located at Bangalore. This coordinating unit itself
which is now located in a new ICMR premises will become the fulcrum of the
NCDIR.
Over the years, the cancer registries have provided valuable internationally
accepted scientific data on the incidence and patterns of cancer in these registry
areas. This has helped to estimate the magnitude of the problem, identify priorities
in cancer control, highlighted country and area specific topics for research and
pointed out critical questions in clinical patient care in Indian settings. The cancer
atlas project that was carried out under this programme while bringing into sharp
focus the entirely different magnitude and pattern of cancer in the North East gave
insights into the power and potential of the tool of Electronic Information
Technology. The same principles that have gone into establishing the cancer
research database will be helpful for setting research databases in Diabetes,
Cardiovascular Diseases and Stroke. However, all processes require in-depth
analysis in the context of needs versus available tools with scope for easy change.
Information Technology that includes electronic capture of data, verification
analysis and on line reporting involves extensive development of software
application programmes and networking. This activity would constitute a major
portion of the work to be undertaken by the new centre. Further information of the
NCRP and the Mission/Function Statements of the NCDIR can be viewed on the
websites www.ncdirindia.org /www.ncrpindia.org. 2
