Full Members will be researchers who are active investigators participating in cancer-relevant research at the University of Iowa. They can be faculty in the tenure, clinical, research, or research scientist track. All full members are expected to maintain scholarly activity in the form of peer-reviewed cancer-relevant publications AND meet one or more of the following criteria:

• Be PI on a peer-reviewed cancer relevant grant within the past two years
• Currently be supported for a total of 10 percent effort or more as a co-investigator on peer-reviewed cancer relevant grant(s)
• Serve in a leadership role for a vital aspect of the cancer center that is a component of the NCI Cancer Center Support Grant

Full-ESI are early-stage investigators as defined as a new investigator who has completed their terminal research degree, post-doctoral fellowship, or medical residency within the past five years and has not yet obtained peer-reviewed research funding.

Full- Provisional are established investigators new to the University of Iowa within the prior 12 months who are in the process of transferring or securing peer-reviewed research funding.

Associate members will be cancer clinicians who dedicate their effort to the care of cancer patients at the University of Iowa, have demonstrated a commitment to the cancer center research mission, and participate to a significant degree (estimated as 20 percent effort or greater) in clinical research. This can include enrolling patients on clinical protocols, serving as investigators on cancer research projects, such as industry supported clinical trials, or opening investigator-initiated interventional clinical trials. MOG Clinical Trial Leaders who are not Full Members in the research track will be Associate Members.

Note: Full and Associate members will be listed as “members” in the CCSG P30 grant.

Clinical members are faculty clinicians who dedicate effort to the care of cancer patients or on other cancer related efforts such as cancer prevention or early detection and who participate in multidisciplinary cancer care including clinical cancer research by enrolling patients on studies.

Affiliate members are those in the research or clinical community at the University of Iowa who have an interest in cancer. This includes cancer clinical staff and trainees at all levels. Although Affiliate Members are not eligible for Holden-supported core discounts, they are welcome to participate in any Holden activities, including program membership and cancer center mailing lists. They are also eligible for certain types of Holden pilot funding, such as American Cancer Society pilot grants administered by the cancer center or other initiatives supported by gift funds.
