Announcement From: Research Management Centre, UMS

The MSD Oncology Policy Grant Program aims to establish a global community of health policy researchers driving evidence-based and forward-looking health policy recommendations that will improve health outcomes for cancer patients. The program seeks to provide eight one-time grants in 2022. Each grant will be valued at up to $50,000 (USD) and will provide funding for health policy projects and opportunities to encourage dialogue and dissemination of findings as they relate to access to cancer care. Prospective applicants should note that the focus of this independent grant program is on health policy – in other words: government legislation, regulation, programs and actions related to cancer. This program will not consider grants for research focused on specific clinical therapies or the outcomes associated with such therapies. Grant disbursal is subject to successful completion of an up to two-month due diligence process for each of the selected applicants.
