Grant applications

Seeking to improve survival and eliminate suffering for all Australian children with cancer

The Kids’ Cancer Project is funding applications through Cancer Australia’s Priority-driven Collaborative Cancer Research Scheme (PdCCRS). 

The Kids' Cancer Project continues to fund research through ANZCHOG, The RACP Fellowship Scholarships and the Australian Brain Cancer Mission to ensure its vision of one hundred percent survival of all children diagnosed is achieved sooner.

By partnering with these exemplary children’s cancer research bodies and the PdCCRS, the charity’s commitment has stimulated $41 million in additional research grants in the past five years alone.
