Organizations from outside of the United States can apply to host courses for training in palliative care, clinical research, multidisciplinary management of common cancers, or cancer control for primary care audiences.  Additional one day programs for professional development or tumor board development are available.  

Virtual e-Courses are available in palliative care, and all courses can include a mix of virtual and in-person instruction.

Limited funding is reserved for in-person courses held in low and middle income countries to support international faculty travel.  If eligible, please indicate your need for support in the application.  Host organizations fund the expenses of hosting the meeting (venue, catering, etc.) and hosting faculty (ground transportation, hotels, meals).  

Once the application has been reviewed and approved by the ASCO International Education Steering Group, ASCO and Host Organization will work together to create a team that will further define educational needs, course objectives, and plan the program.  Applicants must submit their application at least one year before the event is to be held.

Applications are reviewed on the following schedule:

• 2026 Courses (Jan - Dec):  Submit applications prior to Friday, May 23, 2025.  Notifications will be made by June 27th.  
• 2027 Course applications will open in June, 2025
