Research Summary

I manage the Office of Research Development and Strategy to provide support in the following areas within the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center (HDFCCC):
1. Research Activities: provide administrative and financial support to HDFCCC research programs and shared resources, report on activities, define metrics of success
2. Research Development and Administration: manage submission and pre- and post-award activities of the $8M/year NCI Cancer Center Support Grant, manage robust intramural awards program, provide grant support to submissions that align with HDFCCC missions and goals, collect relevant data for reporting and defining metrics of success
3. Research Strategy: operationalize strategic planning process and other internal leadership activities, bolster transdisciplinary, translational, collaborative research
