About the Office of the Associate Director
The Office of the Associate Director (OAD) coordinates the development and implementation of the mission of the Healthcare Delivery Research Program (HDRP) to advance innovative research to improve the delivery of cancer-related care, thereby improving the health for individuals and populations. It establishes the scientific and strategic priorities for the Program and advances the activities of three unique Branches by allocating resources, staff, and assignments. The OAD is also home to the Cancer Care Delivery Research (CCDR) arm of the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) a national NCI-supported network that brings cancer prevention clinical trials and cancer care delivery research to people in their communities.
