Our ongoing commitment to improving outcomes and quality of life for people affected by cancer depends on a range of factors. One of the most vital is our opportunity to access funding by way of research grants to support our efforts.
According to the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), one researcher has the potential to improve millions of lives. For more than three decades, TROG Cancer Research has committed its efforts to this goal.
TROG Cancer Research has a dedicated team supporting our Members in their quests for securing grants to facilitate cancer research funding.
