The ACRO Resident Committee is acutely aware of the benefit that monetary support can provide for members. Given the increased difficulty in obtaining funding, the Resident Committee provides a variety of grants and scholarships for resident members.
Dr. Luther Brady served as an innovator and educator in the field of radiation oncology for over 50 years. In the spirit of his legacy, The American College of Radiation Oncology (ACRO) Resident Committee is offering a funding opportunity to resident members of ACRO in order to enhance education and the educational environment for radiation oncology residents. The committee will offer funds to support four educational projects, which are traditionally difficult to fund through standard research mechanisms.
Grant Details
ACRO will provide four $1,000 grants for education projects in radiation oncology.
Of the $1,000 awarded, $500 will be appropriated towards funding the research project, and $500 will be awarded three months later in a second installment for the project, or can be used to travel to the ACRO Annual Meeting (The Radiation Oncology Summit).
Award recipients will be notified approximately 1-2 months after submission, and the first $500 will be awarded within two weeks of notification.
Recipients must submit an interim report to the Resident Committee by 1/12/2026, or submit an abstract to the ACRO Annual Meeting. The final report must be submitted by early May 2026.
The travel portion of the scholarship will be provided after the presentation at The Radiation Oncology Summit or after the report is provided.
Final acceptance and disbursement of funds is subject to review by the ACRO Scholarship Committee and Board of Chancellors.
