Operations

A management unit within the ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group (ECOG-ACRIN) coordinates the scientific, administrative, governance, and membership activities of the Group. The management unit—called the ECOG-ACRIN Operations Center—has a headquarters office in Philadelphia, PA. A fully-staffed coordinating office in Boston, MA, reports to the headquarters office. The two offices operate under a single set of policies and procedures to ensure efficient interactions across the Group.

Operations personnel perform a wide variety of tasks that contribute to the management, development, implementation, and analysis of Group science. Members of the management team, listed below, are long-standing senior administrative experts whose prior training and experience equip them to perform their respective roles in ECOG-ACRIN.
