Director's Consumer Liaison Group to Meet Next Week

The NCI Director’s Consumer Liaison Group (DCLG) will meet October 25 and 26 in Bethesda, MD. The meeting will feature presentations and discussions about how research advocates can help research findings make their way into routine clinical practice more quickly. Attendees will also hear an update on NCI activities.
The DCLG provides informed, nonscientific perspectives to the NCI director on promoting research outcomes that are in the best interests of cancer patients. Specifically, DCLG members provide insight into enhancing input, optimizing outreach, and promoting strong collaborations, all with respect to nonscientist stakeholders, in the interest of meeting common institute and community goals.
The meeting is open to the public and the agenda is available online. Please register by e-mailing Frances Young at frances.young@nih.gov or calling 301-435-7788.
