  5. Current review panels

Review panels are composed for specific competitions and membership will depend on the expertise needed. Panel meeting dates will be posted as they become available so that applicants may ensure timely updating of post-submission publications.

A collective list of CCS chairs, panel members, scientific officers and patient/survivor/caregiver participants will be posted each year in recognition of the outstanding contributions made by the cancer research community. Individual panel members will no longer be published.

For competitions with multiple panels – applicants indicate their panel recommendation, however, final panel selection will be determined by the panel chairs and CCS based on the panel with the most appropriate expertise.
