Lessons Learned from Arti—Collaborating to Improve Care: the Past, Present, and Future of the Cancer and Aging Research Group

Dr Arti Hurria, who died tragically in November 2018, was a driving force in the growing field of geriatric oncology. She led the field through her commitment to her goals, collaboration with her colleagues, and the creation of the Cancer and Aging Research Group (CARG). As two of her closest colleagues, we are carrying her work forward with our colleagues through an infrastructure grant we led with Arti from the National Institute on Aging (R21/33; CARinG). This grant will provide a national structure for continuing to build the field through research, mentorship, and dissemination. We miss our friend dearly but are committed to carrying her legacy forward through CARG. J Am Geriatr Soc 67:879–883, 2019.
