Kidscan is offering a number of awards of £5,000 over a 12-month period, to support individuals working in any area of children’s cancer research.
The current round of Pump Priming funding is aimed at funding research into Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumour (ATRT), treatment, diagnosis, basic research, target identification and we welcome applications by the deadline of 4th of December 2023 specifically for this type of childhood disease.
Our Pump-Priming grants are available to fund projects in the early stages of development that would lead to further research or contribute towards early stage clinical trials of new therapeutic treatments for children’s cancer. The awards may be used, amongst other things, for consumables, pieces of equipment, support for translation of basic research into the clinic and technical support. The awards may not be used to support the grant holder’s own personal salaries.
