Eligibility & scope

Supports innovative investigations at the intersection of laboratory discovery and clinical application in cancer immunology, accelerating translation of immunological discoveries into cancer therapies.

Who Should Apply

  • Cancer immunologists with both laboratory and clinical research capability
  • Researchers at academic medical centres or institutions with dual research infrastructure
  • Teams integrating bench discovery with patient-facing or clinical trial components
  • Investigators translating immunological mechanisms into therapeutic strategies

Key Dates

  • Letter of Intent deadline: 1 December 2026
  • Two-stage: LOI review then full proposal submission
  • Annual call cycle

Tips for Applicants

  • The LOI must clearly articulate the integration strategy: generic lab-only or clinic-only work will not advance past stage one.
  • Cancer Research Institute panels weight feasibility of the translational bridge heavily, include realistic timelines and explicit hand-off points between lab and clinic components.
  • Demonstrate institutional buy-in for the dual-track research model; letters from laboratory and clinical department heads strengthen the credibility of the integration.
