In addition to all the other membership benefits, MSCO is investing in the future of oncology by supporting the professional development and research of young clinicians, fellows and internal medicine residents.
MSCO Travel Grant
The Massachusetts Society of Clinical Oncology (MSCO) is pleased to announce that as part of our efforts to support the growth and future of the oncology profession, we will be providing a grant for oncology professionals from Massachusetts to travel to the ASCO Annual Meeting.
Trainees can apply for travel grants to help with the cost of attending the meeting. The travel grant is a reimbursement award (up to $1,500) to assist with associated expenses. Among the recipients of the MSCO Travel Grant will be two fellows of an ACGME-accredited training program and one young clinician (with less than five years of practice).
The application deadline is April 1st.
