Description
Conquer Cancer, the ASCO Foundation, offers the International Innovation Grant for hypothesis-driven research on cancer control in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Projects should address barriers to cancer control in a local community and generate knowledge that could be applied in other LMIC settings. The grant supports research rather than short-term funding of cancer control services.
Proposals may study health service delivery, prevention, epidemiology, affordable treatment, palliative care, workforce models or other innovative approaches. Applicants must identify success indicators, how they will measure them and their targets. Projects should take place primarily in an LMIC, and grantees are expected to share the knowledge gained.
