Congratulations on being awarded funding for your research activities

And welcome to the community of funded cancer researchers. Swiss Cancer Research-funded research has contributed to amazing improvements in how we can prevent, diagnose, and treat cancer but there is still more work to do.

Our research funding work is entirely backed by the generosity of the public and the efforts of the many who believe in our mission. It is critically important that we tell them about the research we fund and share our successes so that we can inspire even more people to support us.

From likes, tweets, follows, to meet-and-greets to sharing stories, this information tells you how you can help us do just that. Here's how you can help - we'd love to hear from you!
