Building a Cancer Education Program in the Modern Era: Lessons from Stone Soup

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In 2017, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) announced new guidelines for the Cancer Center Support Grant (CCSG) application that requires reporting on education and career development activities in a section entitled, “Cancer Research Career Enhancement and Related Activities” (CRCERA). While these cancer education and training programs previously have been a required part of the CCSG application, the new guidelines require greater rigor in conducting and reporting these endeavors. In this commentary, I give my perspective of how I have built a cancer education program, first as a program director and then as an associate director of cancer education and mentoring, the critical role leadership plays in the process, and how I have recruited contributors to this educational “stone soup.”.
