AACI Steering Committees Seeking Nominations
Nominations are now being accepted for the AACI Cellular Therapy Initiative (CTI) and Physician Clinical Leadership Initiative (PCLI) steering committees. All AACI cancer center members are welcome to submit nominations until Wednesday, October 30 at 5:00 pm Pacific time.
Cellular Therapy Initiative
The AACI Cellular Therapy Initiative (CTI) facilitates collaboration between subject matter experts at AACI’s member centers through meetings, webinars, and various working group and task force projects. As the field continues to grow and novel treatments are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the mission of CTI is to provide a forum where AACI cancer center CTI leaders can collect, evaluate, and share best practices that promote the efficient and effective operation of cellular therapy programs.
With our recent expansion, we are aiming to complement the current steering committee, which is comprised primarily of CAR T physicians, with experts in other cellular therapies, including TIL and TCR. The current CTI Steering Committee members will vote, and three (3) new members will be added to the steering committee.

Physician Clinical Leadership Initiative
In response to the rapid changes in health care delivery and the expectation to "do more with less" at clinical practices at AACI cancer centers, AACI created the Physician Clinical Leadership Initiative (PCLI) as a forum for physician clinical leaders. The PCLI assists cancer center physician clinical leaders in addressing challenges like clinical services reimbursement, integrating electronic medical records with other cancer center IT services, assimilating clinical research and clinical programs to increase trial accrual, and developing performance metrics.
The current PCLI Steering Committee members will vote, and two (2) new members will be added to the steering committee.
