Acknowledgments

The NCI Office of Science Planning and Assessment (OSPA) provides leadership and guidance for plan development from conceptualization to production. OSPA staff work alongside NCI leaders and the Office of Budget and Financial Management for plan and budget development and with the Office of Communications for document production and distribution. This year, the OSPA team was led by Cherie Nichols and Kathie Reed and included Marianne Kost, Kathy Sorrow, Kate McNeill, Kevin Callahan, Anna Levy, Samir Sauma, Margaret Ames, Lisa Stevens, and Anne Tatem. Others in the office who provided support to the effort were Buddy Clark, Norma Davis, Camille Haylock, D. J. Joya, Christine Moretto, and Clara Sliva.
