GRANT FUNDING ANNOUNCED FOR 2008

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, Cure Cancer Australia Foundation is proud to be funding more research grant projects in 2008 than ever before, over $1 Million.

Researchers selected to receive funding for 2008 grants are working in the areas of: cancer genetics, control mechanisms in cancer, melanoma, myeloma (Bone Marrow Leukaemia), brain tumours, resistance to chemotherapy, breast, prostate and ovarian cancer and inhibiting cancer cell growth.

NATIONAL CALL FOR GRANT APPLICATIONS
Cure Cancer Australia is collaborating with Cancer Australia to provide National funding for 2009 via the Priority-driven Collaborative Cancer Research Scheme (PdCCRS).

The PdCCRS is a collaboration of funding partners aiming to:

• provide a coordinated approach among funding organisations to fund cancer research in priority areas
• foster collaboration between research groups and individuals on a single research project
• lessen duplication and fragmentation of research effort at the national level

Applications are now closed.  Assessments will take place during August to September.  Successful applicants will be announced in December.  Thanks to your support, the Foundation looks forward to funding even more researchers in 2009.
