The Process

Four steps from question to collaboration.

A structured process modelled after academic recruitment — faculty post, students apply, our coordinators shortlist, and research begins.

Step 01

Faculty Posts

يقدّم الطبيب المشروع

Oncologists submit their research project, required skills, expected duration, and the kind of student they're looking for.

Step 02

Students Apply

يقدّم الطلاب طلباتهم

Members submit their CV, year of study, prior research experience, and the specific projects they're interested in.

Step 03

OncoIG Shortlists

فريق المنظمة يرشّح

Our ONCORE coordinators review applicants and shortlist the best matches based on the collaborating physician's stated requirements.

Step 04

Research Begins

يبدأ التعاون البحثي

The faculty member reviews the shortlist, picks their team, and a structured collaboration begins with clear deliverables.

Get Involved

Two paths in. One mission ahead.

Whether you're an oncologist looking for research support or a student looking to contribute, we have a place for you.
