There is still time to register for the 13th Annual AACI CRI Meeting, July 13-15. Although the meeting will be virtual due to safety concerns amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it will still provide an innovative and quality educational experience that aligns with AACI’s strategic goal of stimulating cancer center interactions to maximize resources by creating opportunities for peer-to-peer networking and collaboration.

Meeting highlights include a session titled "Community Outreach and Engagement: Knowing Your Catchment Area." The session will examine methods for extending clinical trial access to the community, working with satellite sites, bridging the gap between rural communities and cancer centers, and eliminating barriers for patients visiting the main cancer center.

The CRI Steering Committee has created a virtual agenda that prioritizes important issues in clinical research, especially at a time when cancer centers are confronting COVID-19.  Meeting topics will include electronic medical records, workflow efficiencies, staff retention, multisite investigator-initiated trials, training and competency evaluation, trial activation and prioritization, and quality assurance and compliance.
