ASTRO EAGL Awards
About the EAGL Award
We recognize that radiation oncology residents and nurses are a crucial component of the specialty and its future. Therefore, to support resident and nurse attendance at Advocacy Day, ASTRO provides the opportunity for emerging advocates to receive an Emerging Advocacy Grassroots Leadership (EAGL) Award to mitigate travel costs.
