Funding Opportunities

Cancer research will provide the evidence that will drive rapid improvement in cancer prevention, treatment and the subsequent improvements in survival and quality of life of cancer patients. The cancer research supported in NSW must be performance driven and deliver meaningful and highly significant outcomes.

The Cancer Institute NSW Research Program is not a duplication of the grants available from the NHMRC or ARC for cancer in NSW. Rather it is strategically designed to specifically address issues of capacity, relevance and competitiveness raised by the Wood Report and the Cancer Institute's own review of cancer research in NSW.

The Cancer Institute's program will build and support a high quality cancer research workforce and provide enabling infrastructure. It will reward areas of relevance, excellence and strength by building complementary scientific depth in these areas. The program will support a high level of cooperation in NSW, nationally or overseas.
