The CLIC Foundation was formed to advance childhood cancer research, namely through providing resources to the Childhood Cancer and Leukemia International Consortium (CLIC). CLIC is a group of international researchers who study the role of environmental, genetic, and other risk factors in causing childhood cancers. Specifically, the CLIC Foundation will support CLIC by: 1)facilitating inter-disciplinary, collaborative scientific meetings; 2)developing the infrastructure needed for data pooling and analysis operations; and 3) promoting and enabling dissemination of results.
