In addition, it has taken advantage of formal and ad hoc consultations that havehad a major impact on program development. The leadership intends to continue to receive outsideconsultation, as well as advice from within the institution as it goes forward.External Scientific Advisory BoardThe development of the Cancer Center has been to a large extent guided by the advice of the ExternalScientific Advisory Board, which has convened on two occasions (March, 2004 and May, 2005) on theStanford campus to comment on progress in the recruitment of the senior leadership and to evaluate theresearch programs and shared resources.
