Avner Pancreatic Cancer Foundation - Call for Applications to the 2016 Funding Round

The Avner Foundation Grants Committee ​has announce​d​ that the​  Avner Pancreatic Cancer Foundation is making available $2M in grant funding in the form of two types of grants:

Accelerator Grants
Grants of up to $500,000 (GST exclusive) per annum are being made available for two to three years duration (a maximum of $1.6M over the next 3 years) to support specific projects and/or infrastructure for research into pancreatic cancer.
The objective of the Avner Pancreatic Cancer Foundation Accelerator Grants is to: Fund high quality projects that can clearly demonstrate support for the Foundation’s vision ‘To break through 40 years of no progress by doubling the number of people who survive pancreatic cancer by 2020’.

Innovation Grants
Four seed funding grants of $100,000 each (GST exclusive) for one year are being made available to support innovative pancreatic cancer projects with a desire to increase interest and investment in pancreatic cancer research.
The 2016 Innovation grants are in recognition of the combined efforts of the Woolworths’ business leaders who cycled the 2015 ‘Woolies on Wheels’ charity cycle and Pancreatic Cancer survivor George Hillen who climbed Mt Kilimanjaro to raise awareness of the disease and funds for Avner’s Foundation.
The objectives of the Innovation grants are to:
  • Support established scientists and/or early career researchers to develop preliminary data necessary to support pursuit of additional funding in subsequent years.  
  • Encourage and retain talented skilled individuals in the field of pancreatic cancer.
Interested parties are encouraged to review the grant guidelines and standard grant terms and conditions prior to completing the 2016 grant application form. All documents can be found at http://www.avnersfoundation.org.au/our-programs/grants   

Closing date for applications is Friday 29 July 2016.​
