Collaborative Call for Applications to Support Research in Breast Cancer, other Solid Tumors, and Hematologic Malignancies: 2022 Mayo Clinic Cancer Center and Cancer Research KI
|
|
The objective of this funding is to initiate and further enhance collaborative research endeavours in the cancer area between Mayo Clinic Cancer Center and Karolinska Institutet - Cancer Research KI.
We seek highly innovative approaches that may involve considerable scientific risk, but which may potentially lead to a breakthrough in a particular area, or to the development of new techniques, agents, methodologies, models, and applications that could have a major impact on cancer research and patient outcomes. It is expected that support via this program will lead to impactful publications, discoveries and targeted submission of subsequent extramural peer-reviewed grants seeking support from other sources. These will be the metrics of success for this grant award program.
Application submission deadline Sweden: 23:59 on April 1, 2022
To facilitate new collaborations, we are offering help in identifying research partners at both institutes. Please write a short description of the proposed project and send this to johanna.furuhjelm@ki.se.
All details you can find on the CRKI website.

Cancer Research KI maps cancer research
principal investigators across KI
|
|
|
|
|
Cancer Research KI is constantly improving a database of principal investigators at KI in the cancer area. The database is intended for researchers at KI and elsewhere as well as others interested in obtaining an overview of cancer research at KI. It aims to foster new collaborations, learn more about specific cancer areas, or explore industrial interactions.
Please check out the new and updated data visualisation and feel free to reach out to cancerresearchki@ki.se if you want to update or add information about your research group.

Cancer Research KI is an overarching umbrella organisation and single point of entry to cancer research at Karolinska Institutet, conducted by some 350 research groups at multiple campuses and departments. The aim is to combine cancer research with clinical oncology by bringing together top level cancer scientists from different disciplines, with the overall goal to generate new scientific discoveries that can be rapidly translated into clinical practice for the benefit of patients and society.
