In the last years it has been possible to request financial aid to participate at the “Ascension Reunion” GRELL’s annual meeting.

The elegible persons are mainly young researchers or recent cancer registry groups representants from latin language countries and/or other participant countries. Our goal is to give young researchers the opportunity to show their research and their work in order to integrate our scientific community. Other situations might also be considered.
The deadline for submitting grant applications is the same as the deadline for submitting abstracts.
