The CRI is responsible for locally coordinating participation in NCORP activities and accrual to NCI clinical trials. Six Young Investigators (YIs) expressing interest in SCOR leadership are chosen to be included in the leadership structure and are mentored by the PIs. A Leadership Council composed of the PIs, YIs, and CRIs is formed and established to oversee administrative daily functions of SCOR. The PIs have monthly Leadership Council conference calls to discuss administrative issues, accrual reports, and provide oversight.One of NCI’s main focuses for the NCORPs is Cancer Care Delivery Research (CCDR). CCDR is a multidisciplinary science that seeks to improve clinical outcomes and patient well-being by intervening on patient, clinician (physician), and organizational factors that influence care delivery. Two community organizations (Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center in Winston-Salem, NC and Spartanburg Regional Health System in Spartanburg, SC) are the designated participants in CCDR. SCOR formed a CCDR Committee to identify strengths, interests and strategies for conducting and participating in CCDR studies. The research bases utilized for cancer clinical trials are: Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology (called Alliance), NRG Oncology (called NRG), Southwest Oncology Group (called SWOG), University of Rochester Cancer Center NCORP Research Base (called URCC), and
Wake Forest NCORP Research Base (called WF.)
