ACRF awards capital grants (between $1.5 Million to $5 Million) for technology, equipment and infrastructure for cancer research at Australian medical research institutes, hospitals and universities.
Grant applications are open to research into all types of cancer with a research focus on detection, prevention and/or treatment.
Since 1984, ACRF has awarded $204 million to 90 research grants in 44 Australian cancer research institutes.
ACRF promotes collaboration amongst researchers and clinicians and encourages novel and innovative cancer research projects.
a) We seek to support all aspects of cancer control (i.e. prevention, early detection, treatment and/or management) through research.
b) Our focus is on providing single capital grants for major items of scientific equipment, technology and new research infrastructure. In this way ACRF can best complement existing sources of funding for staff and consumables for cancer research projects available through other cancer research agencies, such as the NH&MRC and the MRFF.
c) We support research by groups and institutes with outstanding credentials and/or potential in cancer research, to facilitate new and sustainable programs and to provide platforms that will add to Australia’s cancer research capacity. Besides demonstrating the excellence of the project and research capability, applications should demonstrate clarity of research vision and planning, sustainability, strong committed leadership, and experienced management.
d) Pooling the efforts of teams of researchers within or across institutes can often answer research questions more effectively and/or more efficiently. We therefore welcome and encourage joint applications.
e) ACRF is a ‘seed’ funding body and may not necessarily be able to fund the full amount sought in an application. Our support should therefore be demonstrated to provide opportunities for leveraging of additional funding. We expect that applications for projects and/or programmes will demonstrate the ability to leverage support over and above the amount which the ACRF may be able to provide.
