The Journal of Psychosocial Oncology Research and Practice is proud to be working with IPOS to offer a mentorship programme for researchers in the early stages of their careers who are looking to hone their skills as peer reviewers. This scheme teams Early Career Researchers (ECRs) with seasoned reviewers and members of the journal’s Editorial Board to develop the ECR’s skill set to become valued participants in the peer review community. To be considered as an applicant for this programme, you must:
You will work with an assigned mentor (usually a current member of the JPORP Editorial Board) to do two co-reviews. Any queries related to this scheme can be directed to Prof Nick Hulbert-Williams, one of the Journal Associate Editors. ECRs who complete this training programme will be added to the list of approved reviewers for the journal, and will be provided with a certificate of completion. If you are not currently registered as an IPOS Member-in-training (student) or an Early Career Psycho-Oncology Professional, please visit www.ipos-society.org/membership/ for membership information. To apply to be part of the ECR Reviewer Training Programme, please download and fill in the application form, which can be found here, and email it to the journal Senior Publisher, Tarryn Greenberg. Spaces are limited and available on a first-come-first-serve basis, so there will likely be a wait before you are asked to participate in a review.
Dear FORwards members,
Please find below the Autumn updates from the FORwards community.
Successful launch of the FORwards Webinar Series…
We are thrilled to share that the launch of the Fear of Recurrence Webinar Series was a great success. The first webinar on the social context of fear of cancer recurrence was held on 22nd September 2020 and had over 70 attendees. Thank you to our speakers and to all the clinicians, researchers, and individuals with lived experience who tuned in and engaged in an active Q&A at the end. The full recording is now available through the IPOS website and is free to current IPOS members or $15 USD to non-members: https://www.ipos-society.org/webcasts
…and save the date for the next Webinar: 8th December 2020
The second webinar in the series will be held on 8th December 2020 (note: 9th December in Australia/NZ) and is entitled ‘A burden shared: group-based interventions for fear of cancer recurrence’. We have a lineup of four fantastic speakers: Dr. Mia Skytte O’Toole, Drs. Christine Maheu and Sophie Lebel, and Dr. Marije van der Lee. Of note, this webinar will be in a Europe-friendly time zone. Please watch your inboxes for a full invitation, timing information, and a link to register.
Looking for international collaborators?
Are you seeking international collaborators for a research project on fear of cancer recurrence? Perhaps you are looking to validate a new FCR measure in a different language, to expand your clinical trial oversees, or simply to boost your sample size? We can share your collaboration request with the FORwards community. Please send an email to [email protected] and we will forward your email to the FORwards mailing list.
Attention PIs & supervisors – FCR research project looking for a home
FORwards has identified a need for the development and publication of a set of Core Outcome Domains and Measures for Fear of Cancer Recurrence/Progression Studies and Clinical Trials. The development of these core outcome domains could follow a similar structure as this influential paper published in the field of pediatric pain. This project would be ideal for a funded PhD student or postdoc who is looking to lead an important project and to get better connected with the FCR community. The FORwards leadership team cannot provide funding but can support this project through connecting the research team with international experts for the purposes of collaboration and a Delphi study. PIs - please contact [email protected] if you are interested in taking on this project.
FCR Research
FORwards members have been hard at work publishing new papers on fear of cancer recurrence and progression over the last few months. Below is a selection of new papers of interest to our SIG members.
If you would like to include an update in the Winter newsletter, or know a student or colleague who would like to join this SIG, please reach out to Lauren Heathcote (FORwards Secretary) at [email protected].
Thank you all for the phenomenal work that you do to support people living with and beyond cancer.
Kind regards,
Your FORwards committee

Not only has COVID-19 affected our personal lives, but it has also presented challenges for our professional lives. Many early career professionals are facing difficulties at work and experiencing anxiety about the future. This is the first of a two-session webinar and will serve as an informal peer support opportunity for early career psycho-oncology clinicians and researchers, where we can share our concerns and offer support to one another. The second session will involve presentations from senior clinicians and researchers in the field offering guidance on how to navigate our work and careers in light of the COVID-19 epidemic and its impacts. This will be advertised in the near future.
Given that challenges may be different for early career clinicians and researchers, we have organised two different LIVE sessions for each group:
Please note access information will be included with your registration confirmation.
It was obviously difficult to schedule these sessions across different time zones. However, we will be recording the sessions to access at a later date. We look forward to seeing as many as you there as possible!
