Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center (HCCC) Membership Criteria
August 2023
Full Cancer Center Members
Full Members will be researchers who are active investigators participating in cancer-relevant research at the University of Iowa. They can be 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
Associate Members
Associate members will be cancer researchers who are early in their careers and have not yet obtained peer-reviewed funding for research, and/or have internal peer review funding made by the HCCC Research Review Committee. Alternatively, associate members will be cancer clinicians who dedicate a minimum of 50 percent of 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.
To apply for Full or Associate Membership, please download the application and follow instructions.
Note: Full and Associate members will be listed as “members” in the CCSG P30 grant.
Clinical Faculty Members
Clinical members are faculty clinicians who dedicate a minimum of 50% of their 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.
