Research Support in the Field of Cancer

Cancer Research Grants

A major goal for Cancer is to encourage researchers at Linköping University/Region Östergötland to apply for and hold more excellent grants in the cancer area.

For 2024 we announce seed grants with deadline May 15, 2024. The seed grant slot can also include a budget for travel.

This year we also want to encourage academic activities for clinical researchers. A travel grant slot will be open for applications throughout the year 2024.

Instructions for applications to the different grant slots are outlined below.

Seed grant

By this grant slot, we want to recognize and further support excellent cancer research at LiU/RÖ. Application deadline is May 15, 2024.

We encourage novel collaborative projects and constellations as well as continuation of successful projects previously supported by Cancer.

Formal requirements:

Cancer supports projects which involves PIs from two or more research areas within LiU/Region Östergötland. The main applicant (PI) should be employed (40% or more) at Linköping University or Region Östergötland.
Active participation in activities organized by Cancer including in the Cancer Retreat (poster, oral or other activity).
Reports from previous grants from Cancer and progress reports of ongoing projects are requirements for further funding.
Preferably at least one of the applicants should have ongoing excellence grants recognized by LiU: Cancerfonden, EU-kommissionen, EU:s forsknings- och utvecklingsprogram, Formas, Forte, Hjärt-Lungfonden, KA Wallenbergs stiftelse, National Institute of Health, Riksbankens jubileumsfond (RJF), Stiftelsen för Strategisk Forskning, and Vetenskapsrådet. In addition to these, we will also recognize grants from Vinnova and Barncancerfonden.
Nota bene: a grant of excellence will only be considered in one application

The applications will be ranked based on novelty, scientific value and cancer relevance.

For applications, the following material is required:

Title page: name and affiliation of project participants. The main applicant must be a senior scientist at LiU/RÖ. The main applicant should be employed 40% or more at LiU or RÖ.
Project plan: max three pages + max one page of references. Describe the project and aims and how a grant from LiU Cancer will be used to reach these aims. Include a suggested budget and the amount applied for.
Letter of motivation (max 2 pages), including descriptions of:
1. the cancer relevance of your research if not evident from the project plan
2. participation in activities organized by the strategic area Cancer
3. ongoing research activities within the LiU/RÖ Cancer Research network
4. ongoing contracts of excellent funding listed above
If any participant has received previous research support from LiU-Cancer a progress report should be included.
If any participant has received or plans to apply for research support from any other strategic research area at LiU/RÖ this should be reported and a motivation of why Cancer should support the project has to be included.
Short CVs: max 2 pages per co-applicant including list of publications: past 5 years only

Please compile the requested application material into one single pdf file, and send by email to Therese Erwill, therese.erwill@liu.se. Application deadline is May 15, 2024.

Travel grant

By this grant slot we encourage active participation in conferences or shorter research visits for clinical researchers employed by Region Östergötland (RÖ). Application should be submitted at least six weeks before the planned travel.

For attendance to scientific conferences an active participation is required. The abstract submitted to the conference should be included in the application together with a motivation of the added scientific value of attending the conference. A suggested budget should be included. A short CV of max 2 pages including education, current position and employer and a list of recent publications should also be included. A letter of support from the employer should be submitted. Only conferences in the cancer area will be approved.

For support to a shorter research visit to a foreign institution a short project description, max three pages, with background, work plan and significance should be submitted. A suggested budget should be included. A short CV of max 2 pages including education, current position and employer and a list of publications of the past 5 years. A letter of support from the employer should also be submitted. Only research within the cancer area will be approved

Please compile the requested application material into one single pdf file, and send by email to Therese Erwill, therese.erwill@liu.se at least six weeks before the planned travel.
