About DCLG

The NCI, the federal government's primary agency for cancer research, launched a landmark initiative, the Director's Consumer Liaison Group (DCLG), in December 1997. The DCLG is NCI's first and only all-consumer advisory body. It makes recommendations to the NCI Director from the consumer advocate perspective on a wide variety of issues, programs, and research priorities. Read more
