Advocacy

PATIENT ADVOCACY GRANT

The ASC has had an increased emphasis on public education and awareness and understands the need to adopt early detection practices – especially for women regarding cervical cancers.  The ASC Foundation funds a Patient Advocacy Grant that is available to ASC members, patient advocacy groups and neighboring societies. The Patient Advocacy Grant ($10,000), awarded annually, is for ongoing or new advocacy projects for patients with gynecologic and other cancers, or to educate patients on the need for effective screening programs.

DONATE NOW

Topics for the grant should support ongoing or new projects for advocacy efforts for patients with gynecologic and/or other cancers.

The Patient Advocacy Grant is open to all members of the ASC, patient advocacy groups and neighboring societies.
Grant awardee(s) will be required to present a progress report of their patient advocacy work in the form of an article for a future edition of The ASC Bulletin.
The grant awardees will be announced at the Annual Scientific Meeting.
Application material must be received by September 15.
