Blue Sky Grant 2022 for
Innovative Cancer Research & Technology
|
|
Cancer Research KI announces up to six project grants in cancer research for well-defined innovative pilot projects that aim to demonstrate proof of principle. The Blue Sky grant call is aimed for research projects relevant to the cancer field.
The project should be of a "high risk – high reward" type that cannot yet attract funding from conventional funding agencies. The aim should be to obtain proof of principle and thereby provide the basis to obtain other funding. The project should not be a continuation or expansion of already funded projects. All the details and application procedure can be found here.
The deadline is the 17th of October 2022 at 2 pm.
