[6] These include: Steering committees: NAACCR is sponsored by eight member organizations, which participate in quarterly Sponsoring Member Organization meetings and provide input on NAACCR's cancer surveillance activities: One of NAACCR's first goals was to achieve consensus on cancer registration standards among the many standard-setting organizations in the United States and Canada, in order to facilitate compilation and comparison of information across different registries.
NAACCR updates these standards annually to meet the changing needs of the registry community.
These data are evaluated for accuracy and compiled into analytic files to produce CINA, an annual statistical monograph of cancer incidence in the United States and Canada; CINA+ Online, an online query system of cancer incidence data for the previous five years from selected member registries; and CINA Deluxe, a data file for NAACCR researchers to conduct cancer surveillance systems.
[9] In order to develop and maintain the skills and knowledge of cancer reporters in North America, NAACCR creates and releases training workshops, resource materials, and continuing education opportunities.
[10] Since its inception, NAACCR has also hosted an annual meeting, focusing on a different theme each year.
