The process of concept submission to the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study is a two-step process that includes:
- an Application of Intent (AOI) to conduct research in the CCSS
- completion of an Analysis Concept Form for review by the CCSS Publications Committee
Both steps will be necessary before final concept approval will be granted by the Publications Committee.
In order to facilitate the development of a new concept, investigators are first asked to complete a brief Application of Intent to conduct research in the CCSS. This application may be filled out and submitted online to Greg Armstrong, MD, MSCE, CCSS project director. An example of an AOI is provided. This AOI will be reviewed by the CCSS Steering Committee. Once approved, an investigator will be notified regarding acceptance of the AOI and working group designation. The chair of the designated Working Group will be available to assist in the development of the Analysis Concept Proposal for submission to the Publications Committee.
