Training Resources
A list of helpful Web site resources is provided to help advocates better understand the cancer research continuum and the current scope of cancer research. The Office of Advocacy Relations has also designed orientation materials for new members, and developed a workshop to prepare advocates to effectively participate in the peer review process.

Training Evaluation
All peer review training workshops are evaluated to measure participants' changes in knowledge, to identify lessons learned, and to refine the training curriculum for subsequent workshops. This section provides the workshop's comprehensive evaluation report.

Adapting Training to Other Settings
There are many similarities between the roles of research advocates in NCI activities and the roles of advocates (also called public members or patient representatives) in other biomedical research arenas. Components of OAR's training can be adapted for those uses.
