Purpose/Objectives: To identify priority areas of research for the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) Research Agenda for 2014–2018, consistent with ONS’s mission to promote excellence in oncology nursing and quality cancer care.
Data Sources: Review of the literature, 2013 ONS Research Priorities Survey, National Institute of Nursing Research, and the National Cancer Institute research foci.
Data Synthesis: Multimethod consensus-building approach by content leaders and content experts of the ONS Research Agenda Project Team.
Conclusions: The 2014–2018 Research Agenda Project Team identified eight high-priority research areas: symptoms, late effects of cancer treatment and survivorship care, palliative and end-of-life care, self-management, aging, family and caregivers, improving healthcare systems, and risk reduction. In addition, four cross-cutting themes were identified: biomarkers, bioinformatics, comparative effectiveness research, and dissemination and implementation science.
Implications for Nursing: The Research Agenda is a synthesis of the state of the science in cancer and identifies gaps and directions for the conduct and dissemination of research. Oncology nurses can use the agenda to inform clinical practice, develop research proposals, inform policy makers, support interdisciplinary research efforts, and promote scientist and clinician collaborations in targeted patient-centered research.
The Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) developed its first Research Agenda in 2001 and has updated the agenda every four years. The dual purpose of the ONS Research Agenda is to determine priority topics for research consistent with the ONS mission to promote excellence in oncology nursing and quality cancer care and to provide the ONS Foundation with the data needed to support the decision-making process for funding oncology nursing research. ONS identified content leaders and experts from the membership for the 2014–2018 Research Agenda Project Team. This team used a multimethod consensus-building approach that was informed by the results of the 2013 ONS Research Priorities Survey (Lobiondo-Wood et al., 2014), a comprehensive literature review, and a review of the national priorities for cancer and nursing research (see Figure 1). Since 2001, the ONS research priorities have reflected the disciplinary perspective of nursing and the mission of ONS. Management of physical and psychological symptoms, health promotion, patient and caregiver issues, end-of-life care, survivorship, and healthcare delivery systems have consistently shaped the Research Agenda. Dynamic progress in understanding the biology of cancer and identification of targets for therapeutic interventions have resulted in the widespread concept of personalized medicine to treat cancer. An understanding of both inter-patient variability and biologic mechanisms are equally important to interpretation of patient responses and to the development and testing of interventions. The increasing national emphasis on evidence-based practice and patient-centered care, as identified by Institute of Medicine reports related to cancer care and the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, further support the research areas and cross-cutting themes. The 2014–2018 Research Agenda Project Team identified eight high-priority research areas: symptoms, late effects of cancer treatment and survivorship care, palliative and end-of-life care, self-management, aging, family and caregivers, improving the healthcare systems, and risk reduction, as well as four cross-cutting themes: biomarkers, bioinformatics, comparative effectiveness research, and dissemination and implementation science.
The data supporting these research areas were summarized in the form of a draft agenda and posted on the ONS website in the fall of 2014 for public comment. Comments from the members were reviewed by the content leaders and content experts of the Research Agenda Project Team and revised for a final Research Agenda draft that was forwarded to the ONS Board of Directors. The Research Agenda was approved by the ONS Board of Directors in October 2014 and is available on the ONS website as a complete report (ONS, 2015a), and an Executive Summary (ONS, 2015b). The purpose of this article is to disseminate the findings from the Executive Summary to inform the ONS membership and the larger interdisciplinary oncology community.

• Studies that examine the extent to which research-tested interventions (e.g., exercise for fatigue, cognitive-behavioral therapy for sleep, cancer screening) can be tailored to a wide variety of service delivery models while, at the same time, maintaining efficacy
• Evaluate research-practice partnerships that increase the likelihood that cost-effective interventions can be embedded within care delivery processes.
• Studies to enhance the usability, acceptability, and integration into workflow of informatics and other technologies that support the delivery of patient-centered, guideline-concordant care
• Test system-wide efforts to routinely achieve evidence-based care, including the development, implementation, and evaluation of point-of-care information collection using patient-reported outcomes and sensor devices, as well as point-of-care testing coupled with clinical decision support.
The Research Agenda is a synthesis of the state of the science in cancer and identifies gaps and directions for the conduct and dissemination of research. Oncology nurses can use the agenda to inform clinical practice, develop research proposals, inform policy makers, support interdisciplinary research efforts, and promote scientist and clinician collaborations in targeted patient-centered research.
The 2014–2018 ONS Research Agenda Project Team gratefully acknowledges the support of the ONS Foundation for development of the agenda. The team also thanks Jenny Brown and Kerri Moriarty, MLS, at ONS for their assistance throughout the development and completion of the ONS Research Agenda.
