CURE CANCER RESEARCH GRANTS
A few of our Researchers at Government House, Sydney in March 2019.
Cure Cancer funds early-career researchers as Chief Investigator of their project. These grants allow recipients to advance their research and to increase their chances of gaining funding from other grant agencies in the future. Cure Cancer funds innovative, high-achieving early-career researchers by assessing the applicant’s track record relative to opportunity. The funding may be used for the applicant’s own salary, the salary of a research assistant, and/or research materials for the specified project.
Many Cure Cancer researchers who received this funding early in their careers are now among Australia and the world’s most prominent cancer researchers.
In 2020 Cure Cancer will call for funding applications for project funding for early-career researchers via the Cancer Australia Priority-driven Collaborative Cancer Research (PdCCRS) Scheme.
Applications for funding commencing 2021 have opened. The grant application process is in two parts: from within the NHMRC Ideas Grant Scheme and direct with Cancer Australia. Please see PdCCRS information on GrantsConnect
