Following the retreat, the class is now developing a detailed plan that includes budgets and timelines. The team was awarded $200,000 for project development and implementation. The class is using a provided online communication and project management platform to further the develop plans and foster continued relationship development among the group. The collaborative interface platform is bringing like-minded people together in a secure community designed to enable relevant and purposeful interactions, ignite knowledge sharing, drive content creation and improve performance.
The class has approximately 12 months to execute project plans. Projects must conclude by November 2019. SITC will consider project outcomes for publication in the Journal of ImmunoTherapy of Cancer (JITC) and for presentation at the society’s 34th Annual Meeting, Nov. 6-10, 2019, at the Gaylord National Hotel & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland.
