National Cancer Institute (NCI)

• United States
• Research Services
• 700 & Above Employee

• Web Editor

  • Sep 1997 - Dec 1999

  At this time, NCI, like many large public sector organizations, did not have a unified web presence; the institute instead relied on "boutique" and independent sites run by the various programs. At the Office of Clinical Research Promotion, I developed and managed cancertrials.gov, which provided resources for health professionals and patients about cancer clinical trials. While at NCI, I participated in a number of high-level initiatives surrounding the push to develop a unified, branded web presence (now cancer.gov) for the Institute. This was an exciting time; at the real birth of a new way for organizations to communicate with the outside world! Show less
