Applications Invited for Sarcoma UK Genomic Research Grant 2019

Sarcoma UK launched its Genomic Research Programme in 2018 with the aim of bringing about significant change in sarcoma research. The charity is seeking applications for its Genomic Research Grant to further knowledge and capitalise on genomic research in sarcoma by utilising the opportunity and data from the samples collected in the 100,000 Genomes Project. The vision for the samples has been set by the Sarcoma Genomics England Clinical Interpretation Group (GECIP).

The 100,000 Genomes Project was launched in 2012 with the aim of sequencing 100,000 genomes of patients and their families affected by rare diseases and cancer. It is hoped that a new genomic medicine service will be established to help transform diagnosis and treatment for those affected by cancer.

Applications should be made by the Principle Investigator who must be a UK-based member of the Sarcoma GECIP Domain.

Up to £250,000 will be awarded to one project.

Applications must be submitted by the closing date of 31 October 2019.
