Planning and evaluation of the Cancer Center's research programs, shared resources, and interprogrammatic scientific activities are carried out with input from both external and internal advisors. The major external advisory group is the External Advisory Committee (EAC) which is composed of scientific experts and leaders from other major cancer centers. In addition to the standing external advisory membership, ad hoc advisors are added to the roster periodically to assess specific programs, shared resources, or inter-programmatic activities. Internal planning and evaluation is a continuous process at the Cancer Center that occurs through the biweekly meetings of the Associate Directors, the monthly meetings of the Program Leaders, and the monthly meetings of the Senior Advisory Committee(SAC). It is a policy of the Cancer Center that each program have an annual strategic planning retreat. These retreats are supported by Cancer Center funding and provide a forum for more extended scientific interchange as well as membership input into plans for increasing the scientific opportunities of the program [through future faculty recruitment, shared resource development and other mechanisms for increased scientific productivity and collaboration. Cancer Center-wide planning retreats are held in conjunction with the annual all-Center scientific retreats as a forum for all members to participate in Cancer Center planning. Finally, strategic planning retreats are held every three years to formulate and revise the overall strategic scientific priorities of the Cancer Center.
