The Research Interest Group (RIG) is a great place to tap into peer support, stay abreast of cutting-edge research, and collectively address barriers hindering access to clinical trial participation.
Together, we can support the development of research priorities in lung cancer nursing, explore innovative research designs, and foster research partnerships across industry and academia.
