| Help shape the future of ROI |
| ASTRO and the Radiation Oncology Institute (ROI) – the ASTRO Foundation – are building a closer, more collaborative approach by bringing science, research and patient education under ASTRO’s foundation to increase impact. This shift involves a re-envisioning of ROI, including a rebrand of ASTRO’s foundation.
As a member of ARRO, your perspective and insight are needed as part of the ROI rebranding effort. ARRO members are being asked to complete this brief, 10-minute survey. Your responses will help shape the new ROI name, look and feel that will be unveiled in January 2026. ASTRO Member Survey – Resident Members |
