Applied Partnership Awards 2022
Breakthrough are inviting researchers to submit proposals for the HRB Applied Partnership Awards (APA) addressing specific needs in poor prognosis cancers. EOIs by March 10th 17:00.
The scope for this funding call is;
- Improving early detection or treatment of pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer survival rate is approximately 10%. There is a need for more research to increase the number of people surviving a pancreatic cancer diagnosis. Breakthrough are calling for proposals to address this need.
- The genetic aetiology of ovarian or uterine cancer (A combined call with the Emer Casey Foundation and Breakthrough Cancer Research). Compared to 7 other high income countries, Ireland had the worse ovarian cancer survival. We need more research yo increase our understanding of this disease to lead to earlier diagnosis and better treatments. Breakthrough and the Emer Casey Foundation together are calling for proposals to address this need.
