We use a rigorous peer-review process modeled after that of the National Institutes of Health. Our Peer Review Groups consist of the Grants Selection Committee, Subcommittees, and Working Groups that evaluate and review applications and make recommendations on which meritorious applications to fund. They are composed of ASCO members who represent a broad range of cancer specialty areas. Committee members may include scientific reviewers, biostatisticians, and patient advocates. All reviewers volunteer their time and receive no compensation for their services.
