The project aims to foster scientific leadership and mentorship in the NCTN, participate in the development of NCTN therapeutic, correlative, and cancer control trials, and maintain strong accrual to clinical trials across multiple disease sites, including those that are molecularly driven and those for rare cancers. The investigators have a long history of participation in cooperative group programs and play key roles in current NCTN programs such as the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology, ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group, and NRG Oncology. The project involves multiple principal investigators and aims to enhance communication, collaboration, and contributions to the NCTN operation.
