The Spanish Association against Cancer (AECC) within its grants programme funds cancer research from basic knowledge to clinic application. These grants intend to encourage and promote the generation of new ideas, effective strategies of prevention and early diagnosis, improvement of the processes of diagnosis and to develop treatments to solve the current challenges.
This grant programme opens a new call aimed to fund ideas, projects and coordinated groups and to support students and postdoctoral researchers.
The grants from the Spanish Association against Cancer are the following:
• Researcher AECC 2017
Aimed to researchers with postdoctoral training to develop a research programme in cancer in a Spanish center so as to support other researchers to create new lines of investigation.
• Projects AECC 2017
Financing projects of traslational research. The funding will be for 3 years.
Beneficiaries: Researchers connected to a non-lucrative public organization with the aim to generate scientific investigation in Spain.
• Childhood cancer and uncommon cancers AECC 2017
Funding to researchers from a non-lucrative public or private organization with the aim to generate scientific investigation in Spain. The grant will last for 3 years.
• Ideas AECC 2017
Grants to fund new ideas and innovative opportunities in cancer research. If the idea is successful it would be possible to create a consolidated research project.
• LAB AECC 2017
Funding to support emerging groups to consolidate lines of investigation focus on translational research which are developed in Spain.
Beneficiaries: independent researchers on an emerging group and linked to a non-lucrative public or private organization with the aim to generate scientific research in Spain. The funding will be for 3 years.
• Traslational coordinated groups AECC 2017
Grants to fund cancer research projects from translational research to multidisciplinary stable groups.
Beneficiaries: Researchers with a scientific training to develop their activity in a non-lucrative public or private organization with the aim to generate scientific investigation in Spain. The funding will be for 5 years.
• Consolidated Clinical groups AECC 2017
Funding to cancer research projects with the aim to transfer results to the patients and to create innovative researches which are able to change the clinical practice developed by multidisciplinary coordinated groups.
Beneficiaries: Researchers with a scientific training which are developing their activity in a non-lucrative public or private organization with the aim to generate scientific investigation in Spain. The funding will be for 5 years.
• Post-doctoral AECC 2017
Grants to researchers with a recently PhD with the goal to develop a cancer research project in a Spanish institution with the possibility of a training in a national or international center with the aim to promote the talent of young researchers.
Beneficiaries: Doctors or specialist (the degree must be obtained during the past 4 years).
The funding will be for 2 years with the possibility of extending for another 2 years.
• Summer internships in laboratories. Summer 2017.
The main goal is to approach the biomedical research to university students in the field of health science and to complete their training with an internship in a research laboratory which activity is related to cancer research.
Beneficiaries: University students from the field of health science.
The internship will take in summer (July, August and/or September). In total 240 hours.
Call for applications open on the 8th of November.
