ASCO is offering payment waivers to first authors from low-income and lower-middle-income countries

ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology) shared on X:

“Did you hear the news? To support global innovation in cancer research, we are offering payment waivers to first authors from low-income and lower-middle-income countries defined by the World Bank!

Apply for the waiver as you submit your ASCO25 abstract.”

Erika Hamilton, Director of Breast Cancer Program at Sarah Cannon Research Institute, shared this post, adding:

“Love American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)’s continuing commitment to disseminating research and information across the world regardless of resources.

This is an expansion of the payment waiver from low income only to now include both low income and lower-middle-income countries. More eligible for fee waivers!”
