The Cancer Society of New Zealand (Te Kāhui Matepukupuku o Aotearoa) is excited to announce the 2023 National Research Grant.
The aim of the Cancer Society’s National Grant Round is to fund high-quality research across the cancer continuum (including prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and supportive care). In 2023, they are offering Research Grants, Post-Doctoral Fellowships, and PhD Scholarships. PhD Scholarship application documents will be available in early 2023.
About the Cancer Society of New Zealand
- The Cancer Society’s mission is to improve community wellbeing by reducing the incidence and impact of cancer. The activities include:
- Supporting and funding research within New Zealand across the cancer continuum.
- Providing supportive care and information to people affected by cancer, their families/whānau and carers.
- Promoting education about cancer for health professionals and publicising progress made in research and treatment.
- Delivering health promotion programmes focusing on cancer prevention.
- Leading advocacy across the cancer continuum.
- Working collaboratively with organisations who share similar goals to the Cancer Society.
Funding Information
- Recent project grants awarded by the Cancer Society are between $80,000 and $290,000
- Maximum Grant Duration: 36 months.
Eligibility Criteria
- Research project grants provide support for an individual or group working on a clearly defined research project, answering either a single question or a small group of related questions.
- Grants are not normally renewable, and applications should be for a new project, or for one which has emerged from the old.
- Grant applications will be considered from any appropriately qualified person, as long as the principal investigator is a resident in New Zealand or intends to become a resident.
- A principal investigator may only submit one grant application in each Grant Round. A researcher who has submitted an application as principal investigator may also be named as an associate investigator in one additional application in the same round.
Please note the Cancer Society only funds ‘direct costs’ of the research and does not pay any ‘indirect costs’ of the research, such as institutional overhead recovery.
