CALL FOR NOMINATIONS– FDA-ODAC Call for Nominations 2010The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is requesting nominations for members to serve on the Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee (ODAC) in the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). The ODAC is a standing committee that reviews and evaluates data concerning the safety and effectiveness of marketed and investigational human drug products for use in the treatment of cancer and formulates recommendations to the FDA. Committee members generally serve terms of four years and are selected from authorities knowledgeable in general oncology, pediatric oncology, hematologic oncology, tumor immunology, biostatistics, and other related specialties. Candidates should have familiarity and experience in the conduct and interpretation of clinical trials. Candidates should also have minimal conflicts of interest. The FDA will be accepting recommendations for ODAC members through December 23. Please forward CVs of candidates to Nicole Vesely, PharmD, Designated Federal Official for the ODAC. CVs must contain candidate contact information, including phone number and email address. Click here to view Dr. Vesely's contact information. FACULTY CANDIDATE SEARCH– Associate Director for Basic ResearchThe Case CCC is currently accepting applications for the position of Associate Director for Basic Research. As we continue our search, we ask that people in the Cancer Center community encourage any qualified candidate to apply for the position. If you would like to nominate someone for the position, please contact Tracy Rehl (tracy.rehl@case.edu). Click here to view the job description. NIH EXTRAMURAL LOAN REPAYMENT PROGRAMSThe application cycle for the NIH extramural Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs) ends December 1. The extramural LRPs often allow scientific investigators to remain in the research workforce, achieve research independence, and focus their efforts on advancing the health of the nation without having to worry about their student loan debt. The extramural LRPs include Clinical Research, Pediatric Research, Health Disparities Research, Contraception and Infertility Research, and Clinical Research for Individuals from Disadvantaged Backgrounds. For details, please click here. ADOPT A FAMILYIn the spirit of the holidays, the Case CCC is sponsoring a family in need from the Ireland Cancer Center. The family consists of a mother, father and two boys, ages 9 and 11. The father was diagnosed with melanoma several years ago, and was recently diagnosed with lymphoma. Co-pays have piled up from tests and doctors' appointments. The patient has developed foot neuropathy that makes it difficult for him to work at his job that requires long periods of standing. Also, he will not be able to work much while he is undergoing chemotherapy. The family has provided a small wish list of items; gift cards and cash are also greatly appreciated. Please turn in all donations to Gillian Todd (Wearn 149) by Monday, December 14. Please email Gillian.irwin@case.edu if you have any questions or if you would like to view the wish list. CASE CCC ON FACEBOOK AND LINKEDIN– Join Us!We are always trying to foster communication and collaboration across the cancer center community any way that we can.
