Fellowships and scholarships

The Leukaemia Foundation's Career Development Program is a key component of our research funding. The program seeks to fund scholarships and fellowships to foster the careers of talented young researchers.

Clinical trials

Clinical trials seek to deliver better treatments and cures of leukaemias, lymphomas, myeloma or related disorders. These trials may provide vital information and give people access to new therapies not yet funded by governments.

Australian Blood Cancer Registry

The Australian Blood Cancer Registry is being developed to collect detailed and accurate information on blood cancers. The information will be used to improve the capacity of clinicians, patients and governments to make informed and timely decisions on the management of blood cancers.
