Associate Membership

  • Potential for enhanced interaction and collaboration via membership in one of the Cancer Center's highly translational, inter-campus programs
  • Access to Cancer Center communications, including distribution lists for seminar announcements, Grand Rounds, RFAs, grant announcements, e-newsletter, and special events

Programmatically aligned members also become a part of one of our four research programs:

*Must meet criteria (Human Subjects Review); certain trials limited to main institution.

While they are not required to have peer-reviewed support or play a significant role in a national cooperative group at the time of membership, associate members must show the promise of attaining these goals and their progress will be reviewed as a part of the annual review process.

It is anticipated that Full Membership will be attained in six years or less via peer-reviewed funding or through investigator-led clinical research.

If members do not meet all of the criteria at the end of three years, their membership will be changed from associate to affiliate.

Members are expected to make meaningful contributions to the research, education, patient care, and community outreach activities of the cancer center, as demonstrated by:

  • Submission as PI or co-PI on a cancer-relevant grant
  • Presentation of data at internal or external scientific meetings
  • Publication as contributing author on peer-reviewed articles/book chapter
  • Collaborative efforts via grants, publications, or active membership in a Cancer Center working group
  • Regularly attend and present at cancer center seminars and Grand Rounds
  • Serve on various cancer center committees, participate in summer research program, mentorship, and other cancer center activities when called upon; failure to participate will result in the member being ineligible for pilot funding through the cancer center for up to two years.
  • Recognize the support of IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center on publications, when appropriate
  • Attend regular program meetings
  • Support the educational and philanthropic mission of the cancer center through private and public offerings
