## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY - LEADERSHIP, PLANNING AND EVALUATION 
The AECC senior leadership develops and implements the Center's research mission and goals, as guided by 
strategic planning and internal and external advisory committees. AECC's senior leadership represent key 
elements in the research establishment at Einstein with three current and one former department chair, one 
section chair, and one former program leader. Senior leadership positions that are unchanged since 2013 
include the Deputy Director, Roman Perez-Soler, MD, the Associated Director for Laboratory Research, 
Pamela Stanley, PhD, the Associate Director for Clinical Research, Joseph Sparano, MD, the Associate 
Director for Population Sciences, Thomas Rohan, MBBS, PhD, the Associate Director for Therapeutics, Susan 
Horwitz, PhD, the Associate Director for Administration, Richard Seither, PhD, MBA. There are three new 
senior leadership appointments, the Associate Director for Community Outreach and Engagement, Bruce 
Rapkin, PhD, and the Associate Director for Cancer Research Career Enhancement, Anne Bresnick, PhD. Dr. 
Shalom Kalnicki was appointed as Associate Director for Clinical Services (not a CCSG-funded position) to 
replace Dr. Steven Libutti. The Senior Leadership plays an active and critical role in oversight of all basic, 
clinical, population-based programs, and in catalyzing transdisciplinary, collaborative, and translational 
research at the Cancer Center. The Senior Leadership interacts within the context of several key advisory 
venues: (1) the Executive Committee (all senior leaders) and (2) the Steering Committee (senior leaders, 
program leaders, and other key AECC members). In addition, the Director's Council, that includes the Director, 
Deputy Director and Associate Directors for Laboratory Research, Clinical Research and Administration, meets 
weekly. The Executive Committee is advisory to the Director on Strategic Planning, the ongoing evaluation of 
programs and shared resources, and the identification of high-priority recruitment and technology needs, 
selection of External Scientific Advisory Committee (ESAC) members, planning for, and the review of ESAC 
reports, implementation of ESAC recommendations, the allocation of Developmental Funds for recruitment, 
pilot projects and the development of new shared resources. The Senior Leadership has played a vital role in 
guiding the AECC during the period of change in College ownership to Montefiore Health that began shortly 
after the 2013 CCSG renewal. Beyond the ongoing roles of Senior Leadership in Planning and Evaluation 
activities, there are three established mechanisms: (i) Formal Strategic Planning, (ii) The External Scientific 
Advisory Committee, which includes four current and one past director, and two deputy directors of 
comprehensive cancer centers and (iii) the annual off-campus center-wide retreat “Advances”. A description of 
these mechanisms for planning and evaluation and their impact is ...
