Funding for cancer clinical trials

The Priority-driven Collaborative Cancer Research Scheme is a funding program to support research that reduces the impact of cancer on the community and improves outcomes for people affected by cancer. Cancer Australia has established the scheme to partner with other organisations that fund cancer research to:

• better coordinate funding of priority-driven cancer research,
• foster collaboration between cancer researchers to build Australia’s cancer research capacity, and
• foster consumer participation in cancer research.

Research grants for industry-independent cancer clinical trials will be administered through the Priority-driven Collaborative Cancer Research Scheme.
