Mission & Focus Areas

ASCO states that it is committed to conquering cancer through research, education, and promotion of the highest-quality patient care. Its reported activities include professional education and meetings, clinical research initiatives, quality improvement, guidelines, policy work, scientific publications, and professional development.

ASCO reports providing assistance to organizations serving the cancer-care community. It says most grants go to other 501(c)(3) organizations; grants to organizations that are not 501(c)(3)s are subject to written agreements specifying charitable or educational uses, return of unused funds, and annual narrative and financial reporting.

Examples of grantees’ stated missions illustrate the range of organizations receiving support. Conquer Cancer says it funds research across cancer types for patients everywhere. The University of Pennsylvania describes its public-service aims as education, research, and patient care; Cincinnati Cancer Foundation says it funds research, improves clinical care, and supports education; and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center describes work in cancer prevention, treatment, care, research, and education.

ASCO’s website describes Conquer Cancer research applications as reviewed by an independent Grants Selection Committee, which scores and ranks applications and funds the highest-scoring eligible applications. Some approved applications may be matched with grants carrying additional donor-specified criteria. The website provides application resources and says prospective applicants need an ASCO account to use the application portal. It describes the Young Investigator Award as supporting physicians transitioning from fellowship to faculty appointments, with U.S. and international applicants eligible, and the Advanced Clinical Research Award as a topic-specific competition for mid-career physician-scientists conducting translational or clinical cancer research. Both award pages are marked closed.
