Thanks to breakthroughs in cancer treatment and care, people diagnosed with cancer have better outcomes than ever before. Cancer research continues to uncover better ways to prevent, diagnose, treat and care for those affected by cancer, including for their families and carers.
However there is still much work to be done.
People affected by cancer who live in rural and regional areas have greater challenges to accessing treatment and care than those living in major cities. Research is needed to address this need, and overcome this inequity issue.
Challenges also exist for health professionals working in regional and rural areas to lead or take part in cancer research. Greater support for these health professionals to participate in cancer research is needed.
We aim to bring health professionals, researchers and those affected by cancer together to conduct research that directly improves cancer outcomes and cancer services in regional and rural NSW.
Specifically, the goals our work are to:
Clinician fellowships
Funding is available to support health professionals to engage in research and support clinicians-researcher collaborations. Details for this funding round will be available soon.
