5. PSC launches “Discuss With Us” monthly series

The NRG Oncology Protocol Support Committee (PSC) is excited to announce the inaugural launch of Discuss With Us session on Wednesday, August 20, 2025 at 2 pm ET.

PSC Discuss With Us is an interactive forum for research staff to engage with one another, to ignite conversation and exchange information, with the goal that we continue to evolve as researchers and caregivers.

Each session will focus on a relevant research topic and will include a brief presentation from PSC members, as well as a subject matter expert. This is an excellent opportunity for research professionals from different backgrounds to learn about a new topic, or to share their expertise in an area that is known to them. All are welcome to attend and join in on the conversation. View the flyer for details about the August session.

PSC Discuss With Us will take place via zoom on the 3^rd Wednesday of every month at 2pm ET (1pm CT/12pm MT/11am PT) for 1 hour. Once you register you will be given a calendar invite for all future sessions. Use this link or the QR code below to register today!
