Research Members must fulfill one of the following criteria:
Principal Investigator (PI) of cancer-relevant peer-reviewed research grants (as defined by NCI guidelines)
PI on a cancer-relevant, investigator-initiated or interventional, non-industry-sponsored trial with total annual accrual of at least 5 patients per year.
PI of an industry-sponsored trial for which the member was a primary scientific contributor to the trial’s design, implementation, and monitoring
Site PI of a multi-site interventional trial initiated by an investigator at another center with annual total accrual of 5 patients per year
Team science investigator who plays a significant role as a co-investigator (e.g., Director of a core on a MPI grant)
PI on a cancer-relevant training award or other career-development award (e.g., K awardees)
Serve in a leadership position in the NCI National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN) or other cancer-related NIH funded cooperative research group
New recruit or investigator in cancer research or researcher active in another field and has gained interest in pursuing cancer-relevant research (3-year appointment)
Research Affiliate Members are actively involved in the LCCC’s overall research efforts and mission, but do not meet the specified criteria for Research Member status.
Affiliate Members will likely be involved in cancer research, patient care, and/or clinical or cancer center administration (e.g., department chairs, division chiefs, or they play a significant role in leading and developing cancer-focused education and training programs), but do not meet CCSG requirements for Research Member.
The role of Research Affiliate Members continues to be integral to the performance of the research program and the cancer center as a whole.
