Funding research is the main priority of the Norwegian Cancer Society. The aim of the funding scheme Researcher projects is to promote high quality and innovative cancer research and development of the Norwegian cancer research field. The scheme shall contribute to new and important knowledge about cancer, cancer prevention, cancer treatment and care. The projects should be of high international standard and have potential impact for cancer patients in the short or long term.
We aim to ensure high quality research throughout the country, both now and for the future. The Norwegian Cancer Society therefore encourage qualified researchers across Norway as well as young researchers to apply to this call. We actively remind our reviewers to take career stage into account, especially when assessing criterion 3, Qualifications of the Project Manager and Project group (see Application guidelines), according to the DORA declaration.
