Own Project Funding

We support projects that focus on developing new cancer models, cancer screening, cancer diagnosis, creating cancer care guidelines, developing personalized care, and supporting patients in the Southern Finland Cooperation Area and nationally. We annually grant our own project funding based on applications for development activities aligned with the priority areas of the FICAN South´s goals.

The projects to be funded must have the potential to expand nationally and must support the development of cancer treatment either by creating new infrastructure or by developing new methods. Since the establishment of FICAN South in 2018, more than 50 of our own projects have been implemented. These projects have focused on supporting treatment guidelines, national collaborative projects, patient support, and translational research.
