EACR - Mark Foundation - Pezcoller Foundation Rising Star Award

Open to EACR members with an unfunded Score ‘A’ cancer-related project from the 2022 ERC Starting Grant calls.

The awardee will receive funding of up to €100 000 to begin their project. Institutional overheads of 10% will be added to this amount.
The award is intended to enable the progression of excellent cancer research by bridging the period before re-submission to the ERC. The awardee will be invited to accept their award, and to give a talk, at the EACR Congress in Torino, Italy, 12-15 June 2023. 
Applicants must have an unfunded Score ‘A’ cancer-related project from the 2022 ERC Starting Grant calls. The ERC defines Score 'A' as "Fully meets the ERC excellence criterion and is recommended for funding if sufficient funds are available".

Look out for the 2024 Rising Star Award
