Objectives: To review nursing research contributions and future opportunities for nurses in cooperative oncology group research in SWOG (formerly Southwest Oncology Group).

Data Sources: Peer-reviewed journal articles, grant submissions, professional manuals, research policy reports, and meeting minutes.

Conclusion: Nurses and nurse researchers have had active roles in SWOG research involving quality of life, symptom management, recruitment and adherence, and data quality. There are opportunities for nurses to make greater contributions to cooperative group research, particularly in cancer survivorship, health outcomes, and quality of life.

Implications For Nursing Practice: Nursing science and evidence-based practice will be enhanced by conducting nursing research in the multi-site cooperative group setting.
