Description
Summary:Whether the challenge for a researcher is being unaware of updates to funding specifications, perfecting English writing style and grammar, limited experience with design software, or the need for project management, the RCO is trained to assist with cancer-related communication. Discord among team members in these types of situations could have disrupted the successful completion of projects that maintain the high standards of the RCO. [...]it is important to plan ahead for this evolution, from strong individual work to closely interlocked teamwork, and hire staff who excel with individual challenges but also fully embrace highly collaborative environments.
