Patient FoRCe External Advisory Committee

Patient FoRCe is guided by an External Advisory Committee (EAC) composed of critical stakeholders, including patients, caregivers, clinicians, researchers, industry leaders, and patient advocacy groups. In addition, we routinely solicit input from our government partners, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
