Scientific stakeholders and leaders from academia, government, industry, and advocacy organizations gathered in Washington, DC, July 29–31, 2019, for the first CCDI symposium—a scientific meeting that gained a common understanding of the current issues and opportunities in childhood cancer research that could be addressed through better data collection and utilization.
