A review of status, priorities, and recommendations across 41 European countries"! 💡 Paediatric cancers, although rare, are the leading cause of disease-related mortality in European children over the age of one. National Cancer Control Plans (NCCPs) are crucial tools for addressing cancer in children, adolescents, and young adults. Within these national plans, countries should develop comprehensive strategies and solutions dedicated to childhood cancers. My contribution to this important work during my time at SIOP Europe, the European Society for Paediatric Oncology (SIOPE) allowed me to partner with dozens of expert healthcare professionals and patient advocates across the European continent—an experience for which I am immensely grateful! Take a look at SIOP Europe, the European Society for Paediatric Oncology (SIOPE) and Childhood Cancer International - Europe's insights and recommendations for improving care, advancing research, and reducing inequalities for children, adolescents, and young adults facing cancer across Europe!  👉 https://lnkd.in/exKa7Fch #ChildhoodCancer #CancerCare #CancerResearch #Inequalities #HealthPolicy

In a number of countries including Canada and the U.S., brain tumours are the leading cause of cancer-related death among children and adolescents under age 20, highlighting the urgent need for continued research and improved treatments. At Tali's Fund we are committed to supporting research and families impacted by ATRT and other types of brain cancer. Together let's raise awareness, support affected families, and advance research for better outcomes. Are you ready to help us?

Because of generous #donors like you, more #research can be funded. Read our latest edition of our Research Roundup blog, which focuses on a new treatment target for neuroblastoma, improving CAR T-cell effectiveness, using ultrasound to reach brain tumors, and preventing heart failure in childhood cancer survivors: https://ow.ly/4Pxb50RC2oy

In every trial, there's a promise of triumph. Each challenge at the Ivy Center brings us closer to breakthroughs in brain cancer research. Our #TrialsToTriumph initiative embodies this spirit, turning obstacles into opportunities for victory and progress. Watch the full video: https://loom.ly/WWAjx1c

In 25 years, this is probably one of my proudest moments- a labor of love, cliche as that sounds, developed over the last 18 months and finally launching this week. We are so happy to introduce 'Rising Scholars: Breast Cancer, a professional development and career preparedness program for early career researchers, in partnership between The Breast Cancer Research Foundation and Nature Portfolio. 'Thank you' doesn't quite cut it- but thank you, The Breast Cancer Research Foundation and Margaret Flowers, PhD for being the most extraordinary partner to us over the last decade- from launching a Nature Portfolio journal with us- npj Breast Cancer- to recognizing the importance of our research data solutions in their earliest days- to ensuring and amplifying the voices of 25 global early career researchers working in cancer research, equipping them with the tools and resources needed to go further in their career. Thank you to all of my colleagues who have given their time, their voices, their invaluable teachings about community and equity. I'm not great at delegating, I never have been, but you've all stepped up and in, in so many ways. And to our Rising Scholars: Breast Cancer Cohort members: we see you, your value, your skills, your drive and passion. We are grateful to be on this road with you and we will continue to cheer you on, alongside you and from afar! If you'd like to talk to us about building a Cohort of ECRs in a given field, having them work alongside our Nature Portfolio Editors, investing in their future, encouraging a more diverse and equitable editorial pipeline, while we track and measure success, get in touch with me! If our 'welcome kickoff' yesterday was any indication of what's to come from the launch of programs like this one, we are in for one incredible ride! #risingscholars #breastcancer #earlycareerresearchers #postdocs #hbcus #MSIs #professionaldevelopment #tenuretrack #mentoring #natureawards #HSIs #earlycareerresearch #equity #DEI #SNBEN

ATTENTION: Susan G. Komen RFA - ASPIRE GRANT - Applicants/Primary Investigators (PIs) may request funding of up to $100,000 per year to cover a trainee’s salary for one year or two years. - RFA Release Date: September 5, 2024 - Application Deadline: November 4, 2024 at 1:00pm ET ASPIRE grants are intended to enhance the diversity of the breast cancer research workforce by providing established breast cancer scientists with supplemental funding to support research trainees from communities historically minoritized and marginalized in research. A breast cancer research workforce that represents the breast cancer community is one way to work towards health equity and better outcomes for all. By supporting these promising trainees early in their research careers, Komen seeks to ensure that a diverse group of highly trained scientists who reflect the communities we serve will emerge as the next generation of leaders in breast cancer research and end breast cancer forever.  #grant #healthcare #healthequity #breastcancer
