The grant program is designed to recognize and support eligible trainees and students engaging in research that is of high scientific merit, as demonstrated through the submission of quality abstracts to an ASCO Meeting. Merit Awards offer recipients the chance to present their research at the Meeting, in addition to receiving monetary support, complimentary registration, and access to reserved hotel blocks. Special Merit Awards, including a plaque and further recognition, are given to First Authors of the top-ranking abstracts, with the Bradley Stuart Beller Endowed Merit Award offering $2,000 to the highest-ranking abstract in the Merit Award category.
