Professional Development
Research Oriented Career Knowledge and Support (ROCKS)
The ASTRO ROCKS sessions provide practical knowledge regarding funding mechanisms and support for radiation oncology researchers, at all career stages, to develop successful research-oriented careers. Web sessions include knowledge sharing (from research funding administrators and/or experienced applicants/awardees), and interactive components such as Q&A.
Recordings can be accessed via the ASTRO Academy for researchers’ continuous learning and development.
Radiation Oncology-Biology Integration Network (ROBIN)
(ROBIN) is a collaborative network that brings together doctors and researchers from different institutions. These NCI-supported institutions investigate the implications of radiation oncology on the immune system. ROBIN hopes to combine interdisciplinary study to improve radiation patient outcomes. Each center has materials and lectures regarding their respective topics. All materials and lectures are free to view.
