[Academic] FW: Cancer Sandpit Funding Opportunity

[Catherine Cheshire]

Message sent on behalf of Gail McConnell

Dear all,

Please see the call below to apply to attend a sandpit workshop to develop research applications for technological innovations for understanding of cancers of unmet need.

Thanks,

This initiative aims to bring together researchers from diverse disciplines, such as medical, data, engineering and physical sciences, to drive co-development of innovative and high-risk high-reward technologies to understand cancers of unmet need better and to treat cancer more effectively.



The focus will be on hard-to-treat cancers, including brain, lung, oesophageal, pancreatic, stomach and liver cancers, which have some of the poorest 5-year survival figures.



Cancer challenge themes we aim to consider include:



  *   hard to access cancers
  *   tumour heterogeneity and molecular complexity
  *   effective treatment delivery
  *   disease modelling
  *   dormancy
  *   high stromal content
  *   treatment resistance



We welcome applications from academia and industry.



The deadline for applications to attend is 8 November 2022, submitted via a short online form (Survey Monkey) linked from the 'Start application' button in the funding opportunity listing<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ukri.org%2Fopportunity%2Ftechnological-innovation-for-understanding-cancers-of-unmet-need%2F&data=05%7C01%7Ccath.cheshire%40strath.ac.uk%7C5a6c2280781e482273d108daac3ec8d3%7C631e0763153347eba5cd0457bee5944e%7C0%7C0%7C638011682890378441%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=mzhFLbjZtg8wmpR2YHNz0dOtjUv2JV95NlH7Jj%2BPc7c%3D&reserved=0> on UKRI Funding Finder.



The two day in person sandpit workshop will be held on 18 and 19 January 2023 in Manchester, with a pre-event online introductory meeting on 11 January 2023.
