STAC Committee

The purpose of the Clinical Trial Study Team Advisory Committee (“CT STAC”), which reports into the Clinical Trials Executive Operations Committee (“CT Executive Ops”), is to articulate the study team perspective while balancing institutional needs, recommending and analyzing improvement ideas prior to adoption, and championing the adoption of approved recommendations with study teams, investigators, and departments across Fred Hutch and UW Medicine.
