Application Deadline: February 23, 2026

The NRG Oncology Sarcoma Subcommittee is a subcommittee of the Developmental Therapeutics Committee, one of four Non-Disease Site Committees which conduct NRG Oncology trials as well as support research within the disease site committees.

The primary goals of the Sarcoma Subcommittee are to build a more robust sarcoma program in NRG Oncology’s research portfolio, to serve as a resource for NRG Oncology investigators, to collaborate closely with the Children’s Oncology Group in the development of protocols for adolescent young adult (AYA) patients and to collaborate closely with counterparts in the other NCTN adult groups to promote sarcoma research.
The NRG Oncology Sarcoma Subcommittee Vice Chair will work closely with the Chair and leadership to achieve these goals. Other key responsibilities include assisting the Subcommittee Chair with:

• Providing a framework for collaborative participation designed to support the development and/or conduct of timely, feasible, and innovative clinical trials and the publication of findings.
• Monitoring the developing, active, and yet-to-be published studies or subcommittee activities. Prioritizing activities, allocating subcommittee resources, and communicating priorities across the subcommittee.
• Delegating effectively; reassigning duties where necessary to meet timelines or deadlines.
• Ensuring Subcommittee members are appointed and engaged with Scientific Committees, and opportunities for input into developing concepts, protocols, or new directions are afforded.
• Supporting an inclusive and engaged subcommittee, supportive of broad input, timely engagement of liaisons where appropriate, and establishing operating norms for the subcommittee.
• Supporting the mentoring and training of young and/or new investigators who are interested in working with NRG Oncology.
• Serving as an advocate for NRG Oncology in all affairs.
• Engaging across NRG Oncology; liaising with other committee chairs, participating in NRG Oncology meetings by attending both in-person semiannual meetings and interim virtual meetings, keeping NRG Oncology Group Chairs informed of trends, changes, or concerns of note.
• Collaborating with NRG Oncology leadership and members to write and edit scientific grants to support NRG Oncology research activities, including the NRG Oncology core grant.
• Supporting the conduct of activities that are compliant with regulations, NRG Policies and Procedures, and practices that ensure potential conflicts are disclosed and managed.
