Roche Translational Cancer Research Fellowship

This award provides a unique opportunity for NZ cancer research teams to up-skill an integral team member, so that the team can work together more effectively to improve research output. Translational research teams that include BOTH clinicians and scientists are eligible for this award, valued at $30,000. The team must be NZSO members and will be required to give an oral presentation at a subsequent NZSO conference describing the use of the support provided by the award, learning gained and how this has impacted on the research team.

Applications will be assessed by a panel consisting of two senior international cancer researchers and chaired ex officio by the President of the NZSO.
