• Ongoing internal monitoring of all cancer clinical trials
• Coordination of activities for the National Cancer Institute (NCI) National Clinical Trials Network
• Development and implementation of educational sessions for clinical research staff
• Research process information sessions for providers. Please see the OCR manual for providers.
