Description
This program offers financial support to SWOG disease, research, and administrative committee chairs for committee activities at Group and other professional meetings that are not already covered by NCTN or NCORP grants. Funding can be used for invited speakers, member and guest travel, meals (such as boxed lunches or dinners), and other meeting-related expenses.
