ANZGOG assists members to develop their research by:

• Setting clear research priorities as defined in ANZGOG’s strategic plan 2018-2023
• Peer discussion and mentoring through tumour working groups.
• Assistance with study development, connecting investigators to statisticians, translational researchers, QOL and other specialists.
• Funding for study development through the annual Fund for New Research grants
• Study funding for special strategic initiatives and support to apply for government and philanthropic grants.
• Peer review at the Research Advisory Committee to determine acceptance as an ANZGOG study.

Study Operation

ANZGOG studies are conducted collaboratively with the NHMRC Clinical Trials Centre (CTC) and the Centre for Biostatistics and Clinical Trials (BaCT) at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre as well as funds smaller studies through specialist academic institutions.

The ANZGOG Annual General Meeting and Research Development Day is typically held in October each year in Sydney.

The Research Development Day brings together ANZGOG researchers from all specialities and continues to be both popular and effective in developing new research ideas.
