Dataset Authoring Committee (DAC)

The ICCR Dataset Steering Committee, having selected a specific cancer dataset for development, will invite an appropriately qualified pathologist (s) to take on the role of Chair (s) and a Dataset Authoring Committee (DAC) will then be convened.

DAC’s are convened as needed for the development of specific datasets. They are composed of 8-12 domain specialists, comprising expert pathologists and clinicians. Domain specialists are selected for their expertise in the cancer field and their support of structured pathology reporting of cancer. Geographical and linguistic diversity is sought where possible.
