Mark Hughes Foundation Centre for Brain Cancer Research shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Big news!
We are thrilled to announce the six recipients of our MHF Innovation Grant Round. Big ideas in brain cancer research have been fast-tracked by the University of Newcastle’s Mark Hughes Foundation Centre for Brain Cancer Research.
The MHF Centre has today announced $720,000 in funding for six research projects in the latest MHF Innovation Grant Rounds – where researchers are encouraged to ‘think big’ and be awarded up to $120,000 to fund blue-sky research into brain cancer.
MHF Centre Director and practising radiation oncologist, Professor Mike Fay said he was surprised and delighted to receive 47 applications from across the country for a diverse array of research projects.
‘It’s exciting that there are now so many researchers with great ideas in the brain cancer space,’ Professor Fay said. ‘There was a huge amount of interesting and innovative ideas from across the country.
‘Narrowing the selection down to the top six was a real challenge, but we are proud to be funding the best of an absolutely top-tier range of applications.’
