The Rising Tide Foundation for Clinical Cancer Research (RTFCCR), has launched a new grant mechanism called “pre-application grants”. These small grants of USD 4,000 aim to close the funding gap for patient partners to provide input on the development of a grant application/protocol. We want patient partners to play the most active role on the clinical trial team, as defined in our funding guidelines.
We aim to support patient organizations during this early phase with a budget. The budget should be planned to cover travel costs to preparatory meetings and the work time invested by staff or patient partners. This work should be carried out as a preparatory step for submitting a clinical research grant application to RTFCCR.
