## Eligibility & scope

Nomination process for the Research Talent Prize, recognizing promising early-career cancer researchers in Denmark.

## Summary

The Danish Cancer Society's Research Talent Prize recognises promising early-career cancer researchers in Denmark through a nomination process rather than a standard application. It is aimed at researchers at the start of their independent careers who have already shown notable achievement in cancer research, and the call runs annually.

## Who should apply

- Early-career cancer researchers based in Denmark
- Candidates nominated by colleagues, mentors, or institutions rather than self-applying
- Researchers with a demonstrated track record in cancer research relative to career stage
- Applicants affiliated with Danish research institutions

## Key dates

- Nomination deadline 2 March 2027
- Recurs annually

## Tips for applicants

- Since this is a nomination round, secure a nominator (supervisor, department head, or collaborator) well before the deadline rather than preparing a self-submitted application.
- Highlight concrete markers of early promise, publications, awarded grants, or novel findings, since the prize rewards demonstrated talent, not proposed future work.
- Confirm with the Danish Cancer Society whether self-nomination is permitted, as the process may require a third party to submit on the candidate's behalf.
