Project Grant Outcomes
Due to the extension of the NHMRC Ideas Grant Scheme process, the timeline for the current round of the Cancer Council Project Grants has also been delayed with our Consumer Review Panel meeting January 2021.
As such, we expect to notify researchers of the outcome of applications late February 2021.
