ELIGIBILITY
Successful applicants will demonstrate:
  • How the funds will be used to expand the scope of their current studies (they must be enrolled for a postgraduate qualification in a tertiary institution or be an early career researcher (≤3 years from graduation). Importantly, how their studies relate to and advance knowledge (their own and that of others) in screening for colorectal cancer is essential. The studies may be in basic or applied sciences of relevance to screening, to translational research, to delivery of services or to improvement of personal skills.
  • If requested for this purpose, how the funds would be applied to facilitate attendance at the Colorectal Cancer Screening Symposium at AGW 2016 and why this would benefit their study/research program. A case for such support would be further strengthened in situations where students are not able to access sufficient funds to otherwise attend the symposium.
