Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF)

Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF) is at the forefront of backing the boldest cancer research projects in Australia. Since 1984, ACRF has awarded more than $204 million in grants to 90 groundbreaking projects across Australia.

ACRF’s mission is to back brilliant cancer research by giving scientists the technology and equipment they need to find new and improved ways to prevent, detect and treat ALL types of cancer.

ACRF’s approach has already saved the lives of Australians who would otherwise die from their cancer or pay an unacceptable price for more time. As 2 in 5 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85, and the remaining 3 will be closely affected by a diagnosis.

Sadly, cancer is still a leading cause of death in Australia with 145 lives are lost each day.  It's a deadly problem that needs disruptive solutions, starting with pioneering programs and revolutionary research.
