Inferring treatment effects on a survival time outcome based on data from an observational study is challenging due to the presence of censoring and possible confounding. An additional challenge occurs when a unit's treatment affects the outcome of other units, i.e., there is interference. In some settings, units may be grouped into clusters such that it is reasonable to assume interference only occurs within clusters, i.e., there is clustered interference. In this paper, methods are developed which can accommodate confounding, censored outcomes, and clustered interference. The approach avoids parametric assumptions and permits inference about counterfactual scenarios corresponding to any stochastic policy which modifies the propensity score distribution, and thus may have application across diverse settings. The proposed nonparametric sample splitting estimators allow for flexible data-adaptive estimation of nuisance functions and are consistent and asymptotically normal with parametric convergence rates. Simulation studies demonstrate the finite sample performance of the proposed estimators, and the methods are applied to a cholera vaccine study in Bangladesh.
