Geographic Diversity Advisory Committee
The Geographic Diversity Advisory Committee (GDAC) advises the Oversight Committee and staff on universities’ special needs and challenges in developing cancer research capacity in locations far away from the cancer research centers in the major metropolitan areas. The members represent universities that are located 100 miles or more from a National Cancer Institute Designated Center in Houston, Dallas, or San Antonio.
