Meet the American Cancer Society team members who are leading the Hospital Systems Capacity Building Initiative. Two teams are engaged in the initiative.
The ACS National Staff, consisting of the Principal Investigator, Program Director, Program Manager, Program Coordinator, and Sr. Data and Evaluation Manager, lead the strategic design, oversight, delivery of technical and capacity-building assistance, and evaluation of the initiative as a whole.
