GUIDELINES & PROTOCOLS COMMITTEE
The mission and aims of the Guidelines and Protocols Committee are many. We seek to develop standardization of scientific and research guidelines and clinical trial protocols, as well as review guidelines and protocols for consideration of HNCIG endorsement and dissemination. We promote adoption and dissemination of standardized work products to constituent groups and promote the multidisciplinary interests and collaborative relationships of HNCIG.
