The strategic plan was initiated in part because of the growing number of oncology nursing multisite studies and an interest in enhancing efficiency, productivity, and generalizability of research findings. A specific goal of the ONS Multisite Research Strategic Plan was to develop core competencies for the conduct of multisite research for nurse scientists, outlining the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary for nurse scientists to conduct such studies. Visit www.ons.org/research/multisite/core.shtml to view the core competencies, which include a review of issues related to study leadership, data management, fiscal management, and operational implementation of multisite research.
