Grant for Investigator-Initiated Clinical Trial
The StratCan Grant for Investigator-Initiated Clinical Trial was a one-year grant to support the planning and implementation of an investigator-initiated clinical trial. The grant was awarded in 2012 and 2014.
About the Grant
Investigator-initiated research involving investigational drugs is key to developing novel therapies against cancer.
The award covered a broad variety of different activities aiming at enabling an investigator-initiated clinical trial in cancer. Although the support is not intended to cover the total cost of the trial, the grant should support efforts to bring it to the stage where the project is competitive enough to attract funding from other academic or non-academic funding agencies or from industry (The project should not be supported by non-academic funding at the time of application). The research should be conducted at Karolinska Institutet.
