Introduction

The Irish Cancer Society wishes to invite all cancer researchers to apply for the Cancer Research Seed Funding Awards 2024. This award offers motivated researchers the opportunity to drive forward a research project which has the potential to be both highly competitive and impactful. The award is intended to support research activities which, without seed funding, would not have otherwise been possible.

Applicants can apply for funding up to €75,000 for a project of 12 to 24 months in duration.
