CCR Science Board

Natasha Caplen

Chair, CSB
Natasha J. Caplen, Ph.D.

The purpose of the Center for Cancer Research (CCR) Science Board (CSB) is to establish a venue to provide input from the intramural community to the Director, CCR, on scientific and technology programs and strategies. In particular, the CSB oversees and develops non-principal investigator-based programs within the CCR. The CSB is complementary to the Board of Scientific Counselors (BSC) in that it does not review the base resource allocations of individual PIs or Laboratories/Branches. Input from the CSB will be considered by the Director in combination with feedback and suggestions from other components of CCR, the BSC and NCI leadership.
