OBJECTIVES: To review nursing science history within the Gynecology Oncology Group (GOG); to discuss challenges of nursing science in the cooperative group (CG) using a current nurse-led protocol (GOG-0259) as an exemplar; and to propose recommendations to advance nursing science in the CG setting. DATA SOURCES: Indexed citations and personal experience. CONCLUSION: Benefits of CG research include opportunities for inter-disciplinary collaboration and ability to rapidly accrue large national samples. Challenges include limited resources to support non-treatment trials, a burdensome protocol approval process, and lack of experience with nursing/quality-of-life intervention studies. Formal GOG structures need to evolve to encourage nurse scientists to become active members; promote collaboration between experienced GOG advanced practice nurses and nurse scientists to identify nursing research priorities; and consider new funding sources to support pilot intervention studies. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Understanding the CG research process is critical for nurse scientists. A multi-disciplinary team of CG leaders can help investigators navigate a complex research environment and increase awareness of the value of nursing research.
