Membership

Membership

The Tisch Cancer Institute has two categories of membership: general membership, and Cancer Center Support Grant (CCSG) membership. 

General Members

General members assist The Tisch Cancer Institute in achieving its mission and have research or clinical practices that are related to cancer. They may be key institutional leaders who advise on matters within the Institute, or scientists affiliated with other organizations who have outstanding achievements in cancer research, and who are consulting with the Institute.

Cancer Center Support Grant Membership

Certain faculty at The Tisch Cancer Institute are eligible to apply for Cancer Center Support Grant membership. These include doctoral-level, full- or part‐time faculty, at the rank of Assistant Professor or above, and on the investigator or clinician/educator track. Applicants must additionally fulfill at least one of the following criteria:

  • Conduct independent, peer‐reviewed funded cancer research that is aligned with The Tisch Cancer Institute’s research programs. The peer review must have been completed through a National Cancer Institute-approved agency or organization.
  • Serve as Principal Investigator of an investigator‐initiated clinical trial that is aligned with the Institute’s research programs.
  • Hold a key role in a national cooperative group that is aligned with the Institute’s research programs.
  • Serve as Principal Investigator of National Institutes of Health training grants, which support the development and implementation of cancer‐related predoctoral or postdoctoral programs.
  • Serve in a leadership role within the Cancer Center Support Grant.
  • Head a Cancer Center Support Grant shared resource facility or Institute‐supported research facility.
  • Make significant and independent research contributions to a Cancer Center Support Grant program.
