Abstract: The APRC is one of NCI's innovative programs to support and foster cross-disciplinary, collaborative research partnerships. Since its inception, however, no evaluation of the impact of the program has been conducted. The proposed collection of outcomes data from the APRC participants would be the first such evaluation conducted, and the findings would be used to improve the program.
