BCFNZ Research Round-Up: Hope for the future

Your donations fund amazing breast cancer research right here in NZ – but how do we get the best value and the best results for your dollars? How do we ensure our research really makes a difference to Kiwis with breast cancer?

Research works best when researchers and doctors combine their efforts, and when they build on other people’s successes. So, for our 2017 research grant programme, we asked researchers to work together – across disciplines, across institutions and across the world! – to bring us new ideas, grounded in solid evidence, that could bring benefits for Kiwi women sooner.

We’re delighted to say, that’s exactly what they did! The standard of applications was so high, we extended our budget to award grants totalling $370,000 across three scientific research projects this year.

Thanks to your generosity, BCFNZ remains the largest non-government funder of breast cancer research in New Zealand.
