The Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC) of MedUni Vienna and the Vienna General Hospital are extending the application deadline for their research grants to February 15, 2021. The funds come from the funds of the Cancer Research Initiative of MedUni Vienna. The CCC thus supports translational research projects in the field of oncology, which are carried out on-site by MedUni Vienna staff. A maximum of 60,000 euros will be distributed per project.

One goal of the Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC) of MedUni Vienna and the Vienna General Hospital is to promote interdisciplinary, translational research in the field of malignant diseases. That is why the CCC awards grants every two years to outstanding and innovative projects in the field of translational cancer research. Since the promotion of young researchers is another important concern of the CCC, young scientists are explicitly encouraged to submit their excellent research projects. An international jury examines the submitted projects and selects the winners of the grants.
