Apply for Funding
We offer two funding rounds per year for conference and training course grants. There is one round per year for projects, senior fellowships and scholarships. From time to time, the Cancer Research Trust also invites applications in specific areas, through a Special Call for Applications.

2022 Special Call for Public Health Applications
To address the relative lack of public health cancer research applications in recent years, the Trust Board issues a special call for applications in years when funding permits. For 2022, the Trust is offering one $200k research project in the field of cancer-related public health.
We expect that salary costs will be the major component of this award, but expenses can also be included. The award will be for two years (up to $100k per year) but could be over a longer period if necessary.
Applications will be made on the Trust's research portal which will be live in February 2022. Access will be via this website. The closing date for applications is 1 April 2022. The peer-review period will depend on the number of applications received but will be no longer than three months.
To aid in planning, please let Michelle Sullivan know if you intend to apply michelle.sullivan@crtnz.org.nz.
