Translational and clinical research in cardio-oncology
Support to translational and clinical research in cardio-oncology
What is it about?
Thanks to intensive research in oncology, more and more patients survive cancer and live longer. However, pre-existing cardiac condition or cardiotoxicity developed during the treatment can affect the cancer treatment outcome: prognosis, survival and quality of life.
That is why the Fund for research in cardio-oncology is launching a call for translational or clinical research in cardio-oncology. The research may concern the care and cure for cancer patients developing a cardiotoxicity as well as the care and cure for cancer patients with a pre-existing cardiac condition.
This is a joint call by the Funds Pierre Masure, Alphonse & Marie Walckiers, Marie-José Crusnaire, Ruts Ruys, Fernand Léonard and Julien Rongvaux.

Who is it for?
The call is open to researchers in Belgium working in an academic centre, a university hospital or a research centre. Collaborative projects are encouraged. In case of a multicentre project, the applicant should be the principle investigator of the project. Projects that involve collaboration between research teams internationally must be initiated and coordinated by the team based in Belgium.
