Description: |
The intent of the Novel Technology Application in Cancer Prevention and Early Detection program is to ?spark? and accelerate new activity in the development and/or application of truly novel approaches to cancer prevention and early detection. Spark Grants will support preliminary research to establish proof of principle in novel cancer prevention and early detection approaches. Funding can contribute towards generating pilot data for a new and exciting idea, establishing and developing new collaborations, testing a new technology or using an existing technology in an innovative way. We envisage that data generated or collaborations established through a Spark grant will form the basis for a more extensive future project within cancer prevention or early detection. |
