The Early Detection Research Network (EDRN) is a collaboration led by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) focused on the discovery of cancer biomarkers. The effort, started in 1999, includes both principal investigators and associate members from leading research institutions across the United States.

The objectives of EDRN include:

  • Development and testing of promising biomarkers or technologies for early detection of cancer
  • Evaluation of promising, analytically proven biomarkers or technologies
  • Collaboration among academic and industrial leaders in molecular biology, molecular genetics, clinical oncology, computer science, public health and clinical application for early cancer detection
  • Collaboration and rapid dissemination of information among scientists and researchers
