Research:

The SCCTG intends to develop a broad portfolio of investigator led research. We encourage research ranging from single centre studies to large randomised studies. Our intention is to provide a level of support appropriate to each project. This may range from acting simply as a forum for project development and presentation of results to designing and carrying out large-scale studies.

Research published on behalf of the group will be carried out in accordance with the following guidelines laid out in the SCCTG constitution.

1. Trials should undergo an open structured review by members of the Trials Group at one of the annual meetings
2. Trials should be run in accordance with current Research Governance guidelines
3. Trials should include appropriate support for the Trial Office in applications for funding
4. Authorship for trials should be according to the Vancouver guidelines
5. Trial publication should acknowledge the Clinical Trial Group
6. Results of trials should be presented to the group and disseminated to members of the group
