DESCRIPTION OF FIRST EXEMPT PURPOSE ACCOMPLISHMENT SUPPORTING RESEARCH 1.YOUNG INVESTIGATOR/EARLY CAREER AWARDS THE COLON CANCER FOUNDATION CONTINUES TO FULFILL ONE OF ITS CRITICAL OBJECTIVES - RECOGNIZING AND SUPPORTING EXCELLENCE IN TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH FOCUSED ON THE MOLECULAR BIOLOGY OF COLORECTAL CANCER - BY PROVIDING COLORECTAL CANCER RESEARCH SCHOLAR AWARDS FOR THE TOP-RANKING ABSTRACTS SUBMITTED BY TRAINEES OR JUNIOR FACULTY MEMBERS ATTENDING PRESTIGIOUS NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES. THESE AWARDS PROVIDE FUNDING TO COVER MEETING, REGISTRATION, AND TRAVEL EXPENSES. IN PROVIDING THESE AWARDS, THE FOUNDATION SEEKS TO BOTH SUPPORT AND PROMOTE COLORECTAL CANCER RESEARCH. THE FOUNDATION HAS A SPECIAL INTEREST IN THE BIOLOGY OF EARLY AGE ONSET AND HEREDITARY COLORECTAL CANCER. HOWEVER, RESEARCH INTO OTHER AREAS OF COLORECTAL CANCER (E.G. NOVEL TREATMENTS AND INNOVATIVE MINIMALLY INVASIVE SCREENING TECHNOLOGIES) IS ALSO CONSIDERED. PARTICIPATING CONFERENCES AND ORGANIZATIONS CURRENTLY INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: -THE COLLABORATIVE GROUP OF THE AMERICAS ON INHERITED COLORECTAL CANCER (CGA-ICC); -THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR GASTROINTESTINAL HEREDITARY TUMORS (INSIGHT); AND -THE SOCIETY FOR SURGICAL ONCOLOGY (SSO). 2.THE EARLY AGE ONSET (EAO-CRC) COLORECTAL CANCER SUMMIT THE RATES OF THOSE DIAGNOSED WITH LATE STAGE CRC UNDER THE AGE OF 50 ARE STILL INCREASING DRAMATICALLY. THE FOUNDATION RECOGNIZED THIS TREND OVER A DECADE AGO AND HAS TAKEN THE LEAD ON ADDRESSING THE ISSUE BY ORGANIZING AND HOSTING THE NATION'S ONLY SUMMIT FOCUSED ON EAO-CRC. THE ANNUAL EAO-CRC SUMMIT IS A GROUNDBREAKING PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES SURVIVORS, LOVED ONES, HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS, AND RESEARCHERS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY AND THE GLOBE THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO ADVANCE THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF THE RAPIDLY INCREASING INCIDENCE OF EAO-CRC WORLDWIDE IN A PATIENT/PROVIDER COLLABORATIVE SETTING. LEADING CLINICIANS AND SCIENTISTS REPORT ON THE EPIDEMIOLOGY, PATHOGENESIS, GENOMICS, AND LIFESTYLE CHALLENGES OF EAO-CRC. THE FOUNDATION TAKES PRIDE IN THE FACT THAT THE AGENDA OF THE FULL DAY PROGRAM IS INSPIRED BY THE EAO-CRC PATIENT COMMUNITY AND THEIR FAMILIES, AND GIVES THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD CONNECTION AND COMMUNITY. FOR THE SECOND YEAR THE FOUNDATION OFFERED A CRITICAL COMPONENT TO THE SUMMIT - CME ACCREDITATION. HEALTH CARE PRACTITIONERS WERE ABLE TO CLAIM UP TO 11 AMA PRA CATEGORY 1 CREDITS. THE FOUNDATION WAS FORTUNATE TO PARTNER WITH THE NORTHWELL HEALTH OFFICE OF CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION AND THE DONALD AND BARBARA ZUCKER SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AT HOFSTRA/NORTHWELL FOR THE SECOND YEAR. ADDING CME ACCREDITATION ALLOWS US TO ATTRACT A WIDER AUDIENCE AND BROADEN THE IMPACT THE SUMMIT CAN HAVE ON HEALTH CARE PRACTITIONERS (HCPS). AND ONCE AGAIN THE ENTIRE EVENT WAS LIVE STREAMED AND VIDEOTAPED FOR FUTURE USE BY HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS, ACADEMICIANS, ETC. OUR ESTIMATED AUDIENCE REACH LEADING UP TO, DURING, AND IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE EAO-CRC SUMMIT IS ESTIMATED AT APPROXIMATELY 4.7 MILLION UNIQUE VIEWERS. THE DIRECT RESULTS OF THIS CAN BE SEEN IN THE INCREASE OF ARTICLES, TELEVISION AND RADIO INTERVIEWS, AND RESEARCH PUBLICATIONS ON EAO-CRC. THE 2019 EAO-CRC SUMMIT THEME,PERFORMING A KNOWLEDGE GAP ANALYSIS AND BUILDING A STRATEGIC "ACTION PLAN" TO REDUCE EAO-CRC INCIDENCE AND MORTALITY, PROVIDED PARTICIPANTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR FROM AND QUESTION LEADING CLINICIANS AND RESEARCHERS ON THE LIFESAVING POTENTIAL OF TIMELY CLINICAL RISK ASSESSMENT/FAMILY CANCER HEALTH HISTORY; EARLIEST POSSIBLE DIAGNOSIS AND OPTIMAL FERTILITY-PRESERVING CLINICAL CARE; AS WELL AS THE LATEST INFORMATION REGARDING NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL EAO-CRC INCIDENCE TRENDS, PATHOGENESIS, AND GENETICS. IN ADDITION, THIS YEAR'S PROGRAM WILL PRESENT A "RESEARCH IN PROGRESS" SEGMENT FEATURING CURRENT NCI-FUNDED AND PLANNED EAO-CRC RESEARCH PROJECTS FROM ACROSS AMERICA AND EUROPE. AGAIN THIS YEAR, IMPORTANT BREAKOUT SESSIONS BASED ON NEEDS ASSESSMENTS FROM OUR SURVIVOR COMMUNITY WILL ADDRESS CHALLENGING ISSUES SURROUNDING PALLIATIVE CARE, SUPPORT NETWORKS FOR CAREGIVERS, AND A PRIMER ON THE EPIGENETICS OF EAO-CRC SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED BY OUR YOUNG ADULT CRC SURVIVOR PROGRAM ADVISORY GROUP.

AWARDS PROVIDE FUNDING TO COVER MEETING, REGISTRATION AND TRAVEL EXPENSES TO THE CONFERENCES. IN PROVIDING THESE AWARDS, THE FOUNDATION SEEKS TO BOTH SUPPORT AND PROMOTE COLORECTAL CANCER RESEARCH. THE FOUNDATION HAS A SPECIAL INTEREST IN THE BIOLOGY OF EARLY AGE ONSET AND HEREDITARY COLORECTAL CANCER. HOWEVER, RESEARCH INTO OTHER AREAS OF COLORECTAL CANCER (E.G., NOVEL TREATMENTS, INNOVATIVE MINIMALLY INVASIVE SCREENING TECHNOLOGIES) IS ALSO CONSIDERED. PARTICIPATING CONFERENCES AND ORGANIZATIONS CURRENTLY INCLUDE: THE COLLABORATIVE GROUP OF THE AMERICAS ON INHERITED COLORECTAL CANCER (CGA-ICC); THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR GASTROINTESTINAL HEREDITARY TUMORS (INSIGHT); AND THE SOCIETY FOR SURGICAL ONCOLOGY (SSO) AND, THE FOUNDATION'S OWN EARLY AGE ONSET COLORECTAL CANCER SUMMIT (EAO-CRC) TO FURTHER SUPPORT THOSE YOUNG OR EARLY CAREER INVESTIGATORS FOCUSING THEIR RESEARCH EFFORTS ON THE BIOLOGY OF EARLY AGE ONSET AND HEREDITARY COLORECTAL CANCER THE FOUNDATION INCORPORATED AN ABSTRACT/POSTER SESSION INTO ITS ANNUAL EARLY AGE ONSET COLORECTAL (EAO-CRC) CANCER SUMMIT. COLON CANCER PREVENTION INTERNSHIP PROGRAM THE COLON CANCER FOUNDATION (CCF) RECOGNIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF A NEW GENERATION OF PUBLIC HEALTH LEADERS WHO HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND CANCER PREVENTION ISSUES AND THE ROLE OF INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS IN ACHIEVING OUR MISSION OF A WORLD WITHOUT COLORECTAL CANCER. IN THIS REGARD, THE CCF CREATED AND LAUNCHED AN INTERNSHIP PROGRAM THAT AIMS TO TRAIN YOUNG AND ENERGETIC INDIVIDUALS ENTERING THE FIELD OF PUBLIC HEALTH ESPECIALLY THOSE INTERESTED IN CANCER PREVENTION. THUS FAR OUR INTERNS HAVE COME FROM LEADING MEDICAL SCHOOLS, PUBLIC HEALTH AND COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAMS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY AND EVEN THE GLOBE. DURING THE PROGRAM INTERNS WILL REVIEW NEW COLORECTAL CANCER (CRC) RESEARCH STUDIES, ATTEND CRC VIRTUAL CONFERENCES AND UPDATE OUR DIGITAL PLATFORM AND WEB ARTICLES TO REFLECT THE LATEST RESEARCH ON CANCER PREVENTION, INCLUDING DIET, EXERCISE, AND OTHER HEALTH HABITS AS WELL AS AVOIDING DANGEROUS EXPOSURES. THEY WILL PROACTIVELY RESEARCH CURRENT PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUES IN THE CRC PREVENTION SPACE, SUCCINCTLY ARTICULATE HEALTH RESEARCH AND POLICY TO A VARIETY OF AUDIENCES AND CRITICALLY ASSESS DIFFERING PERSPECTIVES ON HEALTH ISSUES - ALL REFLECTIVE OF A PATIENT'S JOURNEY THROUGH THE CONTINUUM OF CARE. THROUGH THESE INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, THEY WILL LEARN FIRST-HAND ABOUT PUBLIC HEALTH AND CANCER PREVENTION GAINING HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE IN SEVERAL POSSIBLE AREAS, INCLUDING COMMUNICATIONS/MEDIA RELATIONS, AND CONSTITUENT ENGAGEMENT. OUR ENTIRE TEAM INCLUDING OUR SOCIAL MEDIA AND PR INTERNS WILL WORK CLOSELY WITH THE MEDIA TO GET OUR MESSAGE OUT TO THE PUBLIC. CONNECTING WITH POLICY MAKERS AND DECISION MAKERS ON A NATIONAL LEVEL TO CHANGE PUBLIC POLICY AND WORKING WITH INDEPENDENT RESEARCHERS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY TO BRING FAIR, UNBIASED AND NON-CORPORATE-FUNDED INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC ABOUT TIMELY ISSUES THAT MATTER TO CLINICIANS AND PATIENTS SUCH AS DIET AND EXERCISE, FAMILY HISTORY, GENETIC SYNDROMES, AND CRC OF UNKNOWN CAUSE. THE COLON CANCER FOUNDATION (CCF) DIGITAL COMMUNITY - CRC CONNECT, THE LEADING INTERACTIVE, VIRTUAL COMMUNITY OF CRC HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS, ADVOCATES AND RESEARCHERS. THE COLON CANCER FOUNDATION DOUBLED DOWN ON ITS COMMITMENT TO FOSTER DIALOGUE BETWEEN CLINICIANS, RESEARCHERS, PATIENTS AND CAREGIVERS FOCUSED ON CRC. KNOWING THE VALUE THAT THE COLORECTAL CANCER COMMUNITY PUTS ON THE NETWORKING AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY WE PROVIDE THROUGH THE EAO-CRC SUMMIT EACH YEAR WE INVESTED IN AND LAUNCHED CRCCONNECT.ORG - THE FIRST EVER ONLINE COMMUNITY BUILT TO FACILITATE 24/7 DIALOGUE BETWEEN CLINICIANS AND RESEARCHERS FOCUSED ON COLON CANCER, ESPECIALLY EAO-CRC. WE WERE THRILLED TO BUILD ON THAT VALUE AND ENTER INTO A NEW PHASE OF OUR WORK TOGETHER BY PROVIDING OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH A PHENOMENAL DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT TO CONNECT, ENGAGE AND SHARE CRITICAL CLINICAL AND RESEARCH INFORMATION AND BEST PRACTICES IN REAL-TIME. CRC CONNECT WILL HELP US COLLABORATE MORE DYNAMICALLY WITH OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS, RECEIVE THEIR INPUT ON CRITICAL COLORECTAL CANCER ISSUES AND RESPOND MORE QUICKLY TO THESE EMERGING ISSUES IN A TIMELY MANNER. THIS WILL ONLY STRENGTHEN OUR ABILITY TO IMPLEMENT OUR MISSION OF A WORLD WITHOUT COLORECTAL CANCER AND OUR EAO-CRC SUMMIT FOCUSED OBJECTIVE OF "PUTTING KNOWLEDGE INTO ACTION." THROUGH THE VARIOUS COMMUNITIES AND WORKGROUPS, MEMBERS CAN GATHER TO CONTINUE DISCUSSIONS AND PROBLEM SOLVING STARTED AT THE EAO-CRC SUMMIT AND SHARE DOCUMENTS THAT WILL HELP TO ADVANCE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF "STATE OF THE SCIENCE", THE EARLY ONSET COLORECTAL CANCER INCIDENCE AND MORTALITY TRENDS, AND OUR STRATEGIC PRIORITIES. STRATEGIC PRIORITIES AND CONVERSATIONS: GAP 1: FAMILY HISTORY ASCERTAINMENT IN THE U.S. GAP 2: EARLIEST POSSIBLE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT THROUGH TIMELY RECOGNITION OF THE SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS OF YOUNG ADULT CRC A. GAP 2A: EVIDENCE TO TRANSITION TO AGE 45 FOR AVERAGE-RISK SCREENING B.

THE FOUNDATION RECOGNIZED THIS TREND OVER A DECADE AGO AND HAS TAKEN THE LEAD ON ADDRESSING THE ISSUE BY ORGANIZING AND HOSTING THE NATION'S ONLY SUMMIT FOCUSED ON EAO-CRC. THE ANNUAL EAO-CRC SUMMIT IS A GROUNDBREAKING PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES SURVIVORS, LOVED ONES, HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS, AND RESEARCHERS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY AND THE GLOBE THE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO ADVANCE THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF THE RAPIDLY INCREASING INCIDENCE OF EAO-CRC WORLDWIDE IN A PATIENT/PROVIDER COLLABORATIVE SETTING. LEADING CLINICIANS AND SCIENTISTS REPORT ON THE EPIDEMIOLOGY, PATHOGENESIS, GENOMICS, AND LIFESTYLE CHALLENGES OF EAO-CRC. THE FOUNDATION TAKES PRIDE IN THE FACT THAT THE AGENDA OF THE FULL DAY PROGRAM IS INSPIRED BY THE EAO-CRC PATIENT COMMUNITY AND THEIR FAMILIES, AND GIVES THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD CONNECTION AND COMMUNITY. FOR THE SECOND YEAR THE FOUNDATION OFFERED A CRITICAL COMPONENT TO THE SUMMIT - CME ACCREDITATION. HEALTH CARE PRACTITIONERS WERE ABLE TO CLAIM UP TO 11 AMA PRA CATEGORY 1 CREDITS. THE FOUNDATION WAS FORTUNATE TO PARTNER WITH THE NORTHWELL HEALTH OFFICE OF CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION AND THE DONALD AND BARBARA ZUCKER SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AT HOFSTRA/NORTHWELL FOR THE SECOND YEAR. ADDING CME ACCREDITATION ALLOWS US TO ATTRACT A WIDER AUDIENCE AND BROADEN THE IMPACT THE SUMMIT CAN HAVE ON HEALTH CARE PRACTITIONERS (HCPS). AND ONCE AGAIN THE ENTIRE EVENT WAS LIVE STREAMED AND VIDEOTAPED FOR FUTURE USE BY HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS, ACADEMICIANS, ETC. OUR ESTIMATED AUDIENCE REACH LEADING UP TO, DURING, AND IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE EAO-CRC SUMMIT IS ESTIMATED AT APPROXIMATELY 4.7 MILLION UNIQUE VIEWERS. THE DIRECT RESULTS OF THIS CAN BE SEEN IN THE INCREASE OF ARTICLES, TELEVISION AND RADIO INTERVIEWS, AND RESEARCH PUBLICATIONS ON EAO-CRC. THE 2019 EAO-CRC SUMMIT THEME,PERFORMING A KNOWLEDGE GAP ANALYSIS AND BUILDING A STRATEGIC "ACTION PLAN" TO REDUCE EAO-CRC INCIDENCE AND MORTALITY, PROVIDED PARTICIPANTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR FROM AND QUESTION LEADING CLINICIANS AND RESEARCHERS ON THE LIFESAVING POTENTIAL OF TIMELY CLINICAL RISK ASSESSMENT/FAMILY CANCER HEALTH HISTORY; EARLIEST POSSIBLE DIAGNOSIS AND OPTIMAL FERTILITY-PRESERVING CLINICAL CARE; AS WELL AS THE LATEST INFORMATION REGARDING NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL EAO-CRC INCIDENCE TRENDS, PATHOGENESIS, AND GENETICS. IN ADDITION, THIS YEAR'S PROGRAM WILL PRESENT A "RESEARCH IN PROGRESS" SEGMENT FEATURING CURRENT NCI-FUNDED AND PLANNED EAO-CRC RESEARCH PROJECTS FROM ACROSS AMERICA AND EUROPE.
