From 2016 onwards KWF has changed the funding framework. KWF has the ambition to bring more results from scientific research into practical applications for patients and the general population. Within this new Program Research & Implementation, KWF is going to fund research with more focus on the entire development cycle; in other words, from fundamental idea to implementing practical applications for (potential) patients and caregivers.
In agreement with the existing policy the research board and Radboud Centrum voor Oncologie has decided to continue with the mandatory internal review procedure for KWF grant applications. The internal review of KWF project proposals is meant to improve the quality of the proposals and thereby raising the chance of awarding. The internal review procedure is in place for all types of projects granted by KWF. Please be aware the pre-application deadline in case of Infrastructure initiatives.
Please find attached the schedule(s) for the internal KWF review procedure 2024:

We kindly ask you do adhere to it.

KWF wants to use the Proof of Concept (PoC) program to give an impulse to impactful inventions so that they reach patients faster. The focus of the program is on mapping out the route towards (clinical) application. The PoC application must be related to a current KWF project (up to a maximum of 6 months after completion). Eligible are KWF projects with promising results where at least initial validation has already taken place. The invention is at a stage where steps need to be taken towards a concrete product or application etc. So there is a view of a concrete application, but the route is not yet (fully) in view. More information can be found here.

UICC launches a call for grant applications to support implementation research projects for cancer prevention in Europe. Grants of up to 500,000 Euros will be made available for implementation research projects of up to two years in length. Projects supported must be collaborative in nature, including researchers and principal investigators from more than one EU Member State or associated country, with at least one of the countries involved to be the Netherlands, Sweden or Denmark. The grants will support research into the effective implementation of evidence-based interventions for cancer prevention in Europe, in alignment with Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan and Europe’s Mission on Cancer.

KWF Themacall Advancement of Biomarkers to Daily Practice
The focus of this call is to bring together the necessary expertise in the field of biomarker research and clinical care to reach the next developmental phase of the biomarker candidate(s) on their way to daily practice and to provide the appropriate framework and funding.
read moreKWF Themacall Advancement of Biomarkers to Daily Practice
To validate (combinations of) already discovered, promising biomarkers that correlate with patient relevant outcomes or treatment responses and that can be used in daily clinical practice in the near future. Therefore, efforts are needed to set up collaborative, multidisciplinary studies with special attention to (combinations of) biomarkers that are potential candidates for clinical implementation. The focus of this call is to bring together the necessary expertise in the field of biomarker research and clinical care to reach the next developmental phase of the biomarker candidate(s) on their way to daily practice and to provide the appropriate framework and funding.

read moreKWF call Long-term programme biomarkers
The long-term Biomarkers program is designed to successfully bring promising biomarker(s) that have already shown good validation to practice. The approach is to continue to support the project until the biomarker is implemented on a national scale. This goal should be achieved in the shortest but realistic time frame possible. The application process begins with completing a checklist. This is followed by a preliminary application and the full application. More information can be found here.
