Enhance the capacity and impact of the SCI JEDI Office through intentional collaboration with the local community, the broader Stanford enterprise, including the SCI Office of Cancer Health Equity (OCHE) and the Office of Cancer Research Training and Education Coordination (CRTEC).

3. Leadership commitment and accountability. Drive and evaluate progress toward advancing a climate of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion at the SCI.
