Clinical Research Connection
Welcome back. We hope the first edition of the Clinical Research Connection was of value to you; and that each subsequent issue includes information you can use; as well as an opportunity to increase communication and interaction.

Providing a vehicle for our affiliate members to share news, ideas and suggestions, reports on ECOG meetings and programs, and call attention to high-priority trials, are some of the goals for this newsletter. What else would you like to see? What kind of articles would facilitate our joint efforts? Please send Vera Jackson your feedback and suggestions at affiliates@northwestern.edu.
