CCQ Accelerating Collaborative Cancer Research (ACCR) Grants

Cancer Council Queensland has implemented a new scheme for cancer research funding called the Accelerating Collaborative Cancer Research (ACCR) grants scheme. The ACCR grants scheme has replaced CCQ’s long-running Cancer Research Project Grants scheme.

The new funding scheme is intended to:

• Stimulate innovative, collaborative cancer research.
• Develop the capacity of high-quality cancer research groups in Queensland.
• Accelerate the progress of research to improve the survival and well-being of cancer patients.

Up to two ACCR grants will be awarded in 2020 for funding to commence on 1 January 2021. Each grant will:

• Be for a maximum term of four years.
• Provide a total of $500,000 per annum, comprising $350,000 per annum from CCQ and a required cash co-contribution of $150,000 per annum from the administering institution.

How do I apply?

The application process for ACCR grants is a two-stage process involving initial expressions of interest followed by a full application (by invitation only).

Detailed Instructions for Applicants can be found here.
