Duration: 3 years.
Due to the Passover vacation the deadline to the RDA will be earlier then usual
Stop Cancer is an Israeli non-governmental organization that primarily operates on a voluntary basis to offer relief and support for young oncology patients.
The program is designed to promote cancer research in young adults, with a focus on addressing unique issues, including psychosocial aspects, that affect this demographic.
Primary Focuses for This Call:
- Research related to side effects to treatments, including psychosocial aspects.
- Research related to aspects of quality of life (QOL).
Call for Proposals: Research Grants on Education - 'Small'
This program is "field-initiated," meaning you can propose your own research ideas without being restricted to specific topics, disciplines, designs, methods, or locations. The goal is to support high-quality and relevant research that addresses important questions and
opportunities in education, emphasizing rigor, intellectual ambition, and technical soundness.
Budget: $50,000 total.
Duration: 1-5 years.
Due to the Passover vacation the deadline to the RDA will be earlier then usual
