Research Support Committees

header image_research support

Many Group members and staff with a deep knowledge of Group policy and clinical investigation participate in a network of research support committees. These committees, which are directly involved in the scientific research activities of the Group, provide a wide array of services that enhance the production of high-quality research and further strengthen the existing climate of excellence within the Group.

Some research support committee chairs appoint members to serve as liaisons to scientific committees in the Group’s three scientific programs: Cancer Control and Outcomes, Therapeutic Studies, and Biomarker Sciences. The appointed members help to facilitate intercommittee communication and also provide specialized expertise as new clinical trials are conceived. This matrix-style organizational structure ensures that relevant research and patient care objectives are fully implemented into the scientific programs and that individuals across multiple disciplines have opportunities to work together in areas of common interest.

Listed alphabetically below are the research support committees and their leadership.
