Protocol Review & Monitoring Committee

The purpose of the Protocol Review and Monitoring Committee (PRMC) is to provide internal scientific review for all clinical cancer studies within the Georgia Cancer Center, as further described below.

A major objective of this review is to prioritize studies to meet the institutional objective of designation as a (Comprehensive) Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The review will maximize scientific validity, assure rapid and effective performance, and assess utilization of shared resources, and thus ensure the highest scientific quality of clinical research conducted at the Georgia Cancer Center.
