Description
The International Innovation Grant (IIG) provides research funding for novel and innovative projects that aim to significantly impact cancer control in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The grant is designed to support proposals that can reduce the cancer burden in local communities and are potentially adaptable to similar settings elsewhere. Applications are evaluated by an independent Grants Selection Committee, with funding awarded to the most meritorious projects. The IIG follows a two-step process: submission of a Letter of Intent (LOI), with selected applicants invited to submit a full proposal.
