Problem Statement: To define the Oncology Nursing Society Research Agenda for 2024–2027.

Design: An iterative, multiple data sources consolidation through the Research Agenda Project Team.

Data Sources: Previous research priorities, literature review, stakeholder survey, and research priorities from other cancer care organizations and funding agencies.

Findings: 10 evergreen statements articulated foundational values for oncology nurse scientists, and 5 topics emerged as research priorities for the upcoming three years: Advance patient-centric, precision symptom science; provide evidence for safe and effective cancer care delivery models and support of the oncology nursing workforce; describe the impact of the environment on cancer care outcomes; integrate patient navigation into cancer care across the trajectory; and advance the use of innovative methodologies in oncology nursing research.

Implications for Nursing: The Oncology Nursing Society Research Agenda is an effective resource for directing the organization’s research vision. This foundational document directs funding awards and requests, mentorship, and policy initiatives.
