The GCCTI project team, with advice from the Scientific Steering Group (SSG), supports researchers across Australia to generate, propose, and develop concepts for trials of molecularly-targeted treatments suitable for grant applications seeking funding through nationally competitive schemes.
The GCCTI is supported by a national SSG which includes representation from individuals with scientific, clinical, and methodological expertise to inform the direction of the initiative.

Expert working groups will be established for new concepts selected for development into proposals. The working groups will be formed on an as needed basis, and will draw members from the project team, Scientific Steering Group, and other experts as required (such as quality of life and economics expertise). The working groups will provide content knowledge, expertise, and input required to develop high quality proposals for grant submissions.
