OBJECTIVE: To describe a novel structure designed to integrate nursing research into the Children's Oncology Group (COG). DATA SOURCES: Review articles, reports, and newsleters. CONCLUSION: A new structure using nurse researcher-advanced practice nurse dyads has succesfully integrated nurse researchers into COG scientific activity, as evidenced by the development of concept proposals, companion protocols, nursing objectives in therapeutic trials, and nurse-led publications. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: This provides a promising method for integrating nurse researchers and increasing multidisciplinary research collaboration in cooperative oncology group.
