Current funding opportunities

The Leukaemia Foundation has a long and proud history of funding research. Since the Leukaemia Foundation implemented its National Research Program in 2000 we have committed $57.8 million to supporting Australia’s best blood cancer researchers and clinicians.

We have forged research partnerships with likeminded organisations and leading research agencies including: the Haematology Society of Australia and New Zealand (HSANZ), Cancer Australia, the Australasian Leukaemia & Lymphoma Group (ALLG) the Leukaemia & Lymphoma Society USA and the Snowdome Foundation, to provide funding opportunities for scientists and clinicians at all stages of their careers.

PhD Scholarships Program

We are helping more medical and science graduates pursue a research career in blood cancer by combining resources and working in partnership with HSANZ to co-fund PhD scholarships.

PdCCRS Cancer Australia Grants

We are a funding partner of Cancer Australia (CA) – an Australian Government agency that provides grants through its Priority-driven Collaborative Cancer Research Scheme (PdCCRS).

The Translational Research Program

Taking innovative research out of the lab and fast tracking it to the clinic, this program is co-funded with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (U.S.) and Snowdome Foundation.
