The purpose of the ad hoc subcommittee is to advise the NCI’s Director and senior leadership on the development and application of biomedical technologies to cancer research, the nature and structure of centers and consortia (node) that integrate research, development and applications, and mechanisms that could facilitate the development of a network to integrate the Discovery-Development continuum and accelerate the Delivery of new agents and technologies. The ad hoc subcommittee will establish working and focus groups to explore the potential contribution of current and future advanced technologies in the development of strategies to preempt cancer at various stages. The subcommittee will be responsible for providing input in formulating a strategy for the creation of a National Advanced Biomedical Technologies Initiative that will ultimately have an impact on reducing the burden of cancer and other related diseases.
