Cure Cancer Australia funds innovative, high-achieving early-career researchers working across all areas of cancer research and all cancer types. Applicants are assessed on their track record, relative to opportunity. Successful applicants are able to use their grants to fund their own salary, the salary of a research assistant, and/or research materials for the specified project.

Many Cure Cancer Australia researchers who received this funding early in their careers are now among Australia and the world's most prominent cancer researchers. We invite you to apply to join them.
