Mission Statement
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Clinical Trials and Translational Research Advisory Committee (CTAC) will convene an ad hoc Working Group to address the implementation of the CTAC Strategic Planning Working Group's recommendations around streamlining NCI's clinical trials. The Working Group will advise NCI on ways to limit data collection in clinical trials as well as optimize the utilization of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) to support clinical trials.
Working Group membership will include select CTAC members with relevant expertise.
The Working Group will advise the CTAC and the NCI Director.
