The GU Disease Site Research Group (GU-DSRG) meets monthly. The meeting features a speaker from another CCSG program or Core to encourage inter-programmatic research activities. The alternate meetings are devoted to optimization of translational investigation, enrollment of patients on external peer-reviewed and investigator-initiated trials, and research sample utilization. Each of these meeting uses a standard format consisting of 1) Clinical Protocol Enrollment and Prioritization; 2) New Publications; 3) New Grants; 4) Translational Research Projects; and 5) Tissue Inventory and Utilization. Average attendance has been 16. The format adopted by the GU-DSRG is being replicated throughout Roswell Park.
Throughout the week, there are several required and optional conferences that contribute to Fellow education.
