Description
Cancer Council Australia connects researchers with research programs run by state and territory Cancer Councils, the major non-government sponsors of cancer research in Australia. Their work spans prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, survivorship and care, including behavioural research and the emotional, psychological and social impacts of cancer. The national research page also provides clinical trial registries and information about population-level research.
Cancer Council Tasmania’s Small Grants program supports projects that reduce the incidence and impact of cancer in Tasmania, including effects on individuals, families and carers. Its scope includes supportive care, prevention and early detection, behavioural research, and translating findings into positive patient outcomes. Applications are encouraged from a broad range of disciplines, encompassing population health strategies, medical research, and clinical and psychosocial care. A separate Diane Foster Lymphoma Research Grant supports lymphoma-focused research.
