Title:
Translational Program Grants
Research Areas:
Health Sciences
Type:
Research Grants
Description:
The Cancer Institute NSW Translational Program Grants are focussed on supporting multi-disciplinary approaches to cancer research that will rapidly translate research discoveries into clinical programs or policy. Translational Program Grants will be awarded to outstanding research teams to further develop cancer research capacity and competitiveness in translational research.
Applicants will be judged on their current and potential ability to move basic research findings rapidly into a clinical or population setting.
Programs Grants are focused on the development of multidisciplinary approaches to cancer research that will test the relevance of a biological discovery in human cancer risk, early detection, screening, prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, and/or treatment.
Programs Grants are focused on the development of multidisciplinary approaches to cancer research that will test the relevance of a biological discovery in human cancer risk, early detection, screening, prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, and/or treatment.
Successful Translational Program Grants must demonstrate how the biological discovery is to be tested within the clinical setting. The program of research should demonstrate that ‘first in man’ studies will commence within the first half of the 5 year program and that initial clinical outcomes will be available by the end of the program. Therefore research on the biological discovery should be well advanced at time of submission to ensure that clinical testing will be a major focus of the application.
Application may be made by teams investigating cancers that rate highly in incidence, although preference may be given to those applications focussing on bowel cancer or lung cancer.
Amount awarded:
A Translational Program Grant is valued up to $750,000 per annum, for a maximum period of five years.
