PCRC Special Interest Groups
The Investigator Development Center offers Special Interest Groups (SIGs) to link PCRC investigators who are interested in collaborating around palliative care research topics. The goal is to connect researchers with similar interests to create communities for collaborating and networking, problem-solving, and sharing resources.
Please reach out to the following SIG Leaders for more information regarding their SIGs’ future plans!
