The
Avner Foundation Grants Committee has announced 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.
