The Col Reynolds Fellowships seek to encourage talented young researchers by supporting PhD students, early and mid-career researchers and young clinicians.
Hypothesis driven, innovative basic (T0-discovery) research that will improve our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of childhood cancer and identify novel, safe and effective new treatment strategies and technologies that will have the potential to translate to patient benefit in the clinic.
High-quality clinical research (T1-T4) programs and processes that are informed by discovery research, will directly translate to a patient benefit and facilitate equal access to clinical care resulting in a positive impact on survival rates and quality of life for all children with cancer.
Research programs and services aimed at enhancing cancer care by managing long-term effects, reducing side effects, improving service delivery, and engaging patients. Implementing these improvements in standard care will provide sustainable and improved care for cancer survivors.
Build resources, infrastructure and research tool kits that will facilitate high quality research and future proof the childhood cancer research landscape. Build networks and partnerships to increase funding capacity, shape policy/process and increase awareness and support from government agencies, industry, philanthropic partners and the community.
