National Breast Cancer Foundation shared a post on LinkedIn:

“NBCF is pleased to announce our new and exciting inaugural Pink Sky Grants Scheme, under the Pink Horizon Research Strategy.

Launched in November 2023, the Pink Horizon Research Strategy is a pioneering five-year initiative designed to support a diverse yet connected portfolio of research, with an investment scale that matches the boldness of our vision. Through targeted and sustained funding, and a commitment to collaboration and impact, we aim to enable and accelerate the innovative research needed to end deaths from breast cancer.

The Pink Sky Grants Scheme is a key component of the NBCF Pink Horizon Research Strategy and is complementary to Research Project Grants and Collaborative Research Accelerator Grants. It is designed to support innovative, high-risk, high-reward research projects with significant paradigm shifting potential to revolutionise approaches to combating breast cancer.

Pink Sky Grant funding is available for Australian researchers, including clinician researchers, from any academic discipline, of any career stage, that meet the all the eligibility criteria as set out in the grant guidelines.

“New Funding Opportunity

I’m thrilled to share the launch of our inaugural Pink Sky Grants Scheme, part of the National Breast Cancer Foundation’s bold Pink Horizon Research Strategy.

These grants, open to Australian researchers, are designed to fuel innovative, high-risk, high-reward research ideas with significant paradigm shifting potential to revolutionise approaches to combating breast cancer.

Up to $500,000 AUD per grant.

Do you have a novel research idea, perhaps from another field, that may be applied to breast cancer for the first time?

Know someone working at the edge of innovation who just needs the right spark, and support?

Help me spread the word. Repost to your network.

As a completely community funded organisation, all of the world class research we fund would not be possible without the incredible generosity of the Australian public, our major donors and corporate partners, who power our vision of Zero Deaths from breast cancer.”
