Methodologic strengths include qualitative methods, prospective cohort studies, clinical trials including single site pilots and large-scale multi-site clinical trials, and implementation science including implementation trials. An existing cancer focus is preferred, and if not, a desire to expand to the cancer space is highly desirable but not required.
