The SD directly advises the NCI Director on NCI policies as well as national and international issues of cancer public health. Through presentations and personal interaction, the SD advises the NCI Board of Scientific Counselors, NCI Board of Scientific Advisors, the National Cancer Advisory Board, and the President's Cancer Panel of advances and changes within the overall program. The SD participates with Board and Panel members in activities to develop information, plans of action and recommendations on national and international biomedical research issues.
The SD may also supervise their own research group supported by resources commensurate with the size and scope of their program.
