The Publications page provides a searchable database of all CISNET publications since the inception of CISNET.
The Publication Support and Modeling Resources pages provides access to technical modeling information, raw data, and publication extensions stemming from the work of the CISNET consortium. These pages were launched in late 2013, and we are continuing to add additional information.
The CISNET Model Documentation provides summaries and other resources to learn about CISNET models.
CISNET Policy and Individual Decision Tools are available to:

Population modeling has important links and collaborations with research efforts involving modeling of biological mechanisms. One key example is the initiative entitled, Bridging the Gap Between Cancer Mechanism and Population Science.
