Call for Expressions of Interest to be members of the WCRC/CReSt Steering Committee
21 February
Nurse and allied health professionals and clinical trial infrastructure representatives are being invited to submit an expression of interest to join a steering committee coordinating the implementation of the Cancer Research Strategy for Wales (CReSt).
The Wales Cancer Research Centre (WCRC) is coordinating activity to implement the strategy, as well as WCRC core activity. Its work is focused around the six CReSt priority research themes:
- Precision and mechanistic oncology
- Immuno-oncology
- Radiotherapy
- Cancer clinical trials
- Palliative and supportive oncology
- Population health-based cancer prevention, detection, primary care and health services research.
A WCRC/CReSt Steering Committee is being set up, to meet twice per year to offer expert advice and strategic input both to WCRC activities and wider CReSt implementation.
To be eligible to join you must be based in Wales, engaged in research-related activity (or management thereof) that is wholly or partly relevant to cancer; and not in current receipt of WCRC funding, nor a CReSt academic lead.
The positions are currently until 2025 and membership will be rotated at that time, to open up future opportunities for others to participate.
Please send your Expressions of Interest to wcrc@cardiff.ac.uk by 21 March 2025
