Travel Funding Opportunities

ECOG-ACRIN offers a limited number of travel awards to support research professionals to attend the meeting in person. For Fall 2025, travel grants were awarded to radiation oncologists, advanced practice providers, and clinical research associates. Additionally, Edith Peterson Mitchell, MD Health Equity Travel Scholarships were given to trainees (students, residents, fellows, and early-career investigators) who self-identify with populations historically excluded from medicine and science. All of these applications have closed.
