  2. Origin of the Program Background: 2007 Conducted a focused Project Medical Education program educating Congressional staffers a first-hand look at medical education as the foundation of America's world-class health care system.  2008 Developed cancer-centric research modules emphasizing bench-to-bedside research. 2009 Created Project Cancer Education program for federal and state policymakers. Announced PCE as an advocacy tool for the Association of American Cancer Institutes (AACI) 2010 Created ad hoc advisory board at OSUCCC-James and AACI Launching PCE program at the NCI in June/July

  5. Primary Goals Educate policymakers and opinion leaders about the value of NIH/NCI funding Provide these key decision-makers with an experience that gives them a greater understanding of our multiple missions. • Create a more accurate knowledge base among policymakers and opinion leaders so that they are sufficiently informed to make thoughtful decisions about future funding sources.

  6. The Model Program “Seeing and doing” rather than “listening” Participants become researchers, oncologists and patients And follow their paths by: attending meetings and patient rounds, taking part in simulated exercises, engaging with patients, and tracking actual patient case scenarios from diagnosis through survivorship. Adaptable to medical schools, teaching hospitals and multiple institutions

  7. Elected officials and community leaders better understand: • Value and investment of NIH/NCI research; • Who we are and how we give back to the community; and • How their decisions, policies and actions can strengthen the global war on cancer.
