Osteosarcoma Restricted Funding Call
Treatment for osteosarcoma has not changed for several decades and still relies on a cocktail of toxic chemotherapies. New, targeted treatments, with less immediate and long-term effects are desperately needed to ensure more patients survive and thrive after treatment.
Hannah’s Willberry Wonder Pony Charity & Bone Cancer Research Trust are committed to drive improvements through the funding of high impact, innovative and collaborative research.
The charities are delighted to be working together to offer funding of up to £250,000 to support clinical or translational projects focused on improving outcomes for osteosarcoma patients.
Funding is available to researchers and/or clinicians working in an academic or clinical institution in the UK, however, international collaboration is encouraged where appropriate. As part of this funding call, we welcome applications for funding to support translational research projects up to a maximum value of £250,000.
The proposals which should demonstrate a clear line of sight to patient benefit and be both hypotheses driven and generating. They should clearly describe background evidence (including figures) and previous publications that have been used to support the submitted project, how the described experimental design will answer the questions posed in the project and how research may lead to patient benefit.
Patient involvement in the development of applications will be expected. The Bone Cancer Research Trust has a Patient and Public Involvement Panel, who may be contacted to support your application. Please email research@bcrt.org.uk.
All costings will be fully scrutinised, and so clear justifications should be included.
The closing date for this funding scheme is 5pm on the 11th July 2025 and awards are expected to be in December 2025.
