SOUTHWEST ONCOLOGY GROUP MEMBERSHIP PROGRAMS

The Southwest Oncology Group continuously considers nominations for new institutions and investigators to participate in Group trials.

Institutions/investigators seeking membership may apply through one of the existing membership programs (as outlined below) or from an announcement for a new membership program through the circulation of an RFA [Request For Applications]. When a new institution requests membership in the Southwest Oncology Group, each application undergoes an extensive review and approval process. The Southwest Oncology Group has established guidelines to be followed by each institution and/or individual petitioning for membership in the Group.
