ASTRO's 2025 EAGL awardees announced
April 16, 2025
ASTRO is pleased to recognize the following Emerging Advocacy Grassroots Leadership (EAGL) grantees, and are looking forward to welcoming them to Washington, DC, in May to participate in Advocacy Day 2025. Awardees will join radiation oncology leaders from across the country for the two-day event. ASTRO recognizes that radiation oncology residents and nurses play vital roles in the present and future of the specialty and may also face resource constraints, so they are awarded $400 grants to offset associated travel costs.
