The Nordic Cancer Union Research Grant supports collaborative cancer research projects across the Nordic countries. Researchers working in at least three Nordic nations can apply for funding to carry out cancer-relevant projects aligned with the NCU’s research strategy. The grant is primarily awarded for one year, with the possibility of renewal for up to three years.
Eligibility for the grant requires applicants to be researchers working in the field of cancer research with collaborators from at least three Nordic countries. The project must be cancer-related, aligned with the NCU’s research strategy, and uniquely suited for Nordic collaboration to ensure a synergistic effect.
The Nordic Cancer Union (NCU) is a collaborative organization that brings together cancer societies from the Nordic countries to strengthen efforts in cancer prevention, research, and patient support. By funding joint research projects and fostering scientific cooperation across borders, the NCU works to advance knowledge, improve treatment, and reduce the burden of cancer in the region.
