The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is establishing a new Cancer Screening Research Network (CSRN). The CSRN will conduct rigorous, multi-center cancer screening trials and related studies with large and diverse populations in a variety of health care settings, with the goal of reducing cancer-related morbidity and mortality. Cancer screening provides a unique opportunity to diagnose cancers and pre-cancerous lesions before symptoms develop.

Under general supervision, the operations manager is the operational point person for all CSRN activities, independently providing day-to-day operational leadership for the CCC and SDMC.

The CCC will coordinate study operations, develop and implement communication activities, and provide trial infrastructure, including management of meetings and maintaining protocol and network guideline-related information. The SDMC will lead the statistical design, data management, analysis, and reporting for the CSRN.
