SARC’s Research Advocacy Council ADDS NEW MEMBERS

The SARC Research Advocacy Council (RAC) was created using the model established by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for engagement of patient advocates to become “research advocates” across four key functions: advise, design, review, and disseminate. A number of individual patient advocates have agreed to serve as research advocates on the SARC Research Advocacy Council. The council convenes regularly to explore opportunities to interface with researchers. To learn more about the RAC, please click here.

• Jeffrey Kramer President, Chondrosarcoma Foundation
