Distinguished Visitors
Open for applications
Closing Date: Friday 22nd January 2010
Selection Criteria and Information for Applicants Cancer Council SA (CCSA) sets aside limited funds each year to support visits by national or international experts who can add value to cancer control in South Australia. A condition of the award is that it must be used during the calendar year ending 31 December 2010. Any South Australian agency or department actively involved in cancer research, caring for people affected by cancer, or community education about cancer, may apply to CCSA for a grant-in-aid to bring an appropriate 'distinguished visitor' to South Australia.
Since available funds rarely meet the total requested, selection is competitive and based on the following selection criteria: - 1. The stature and track record of the proposed visitor.
2. The duration and timing of the proposed visit. The proposed visit should be for approximately one week in Adelaide, although partial support for longer visits will be considered. 3. The visitor's preparedness to present at several institutions across Adelaide, to be involved in a public meeting and to interact with the media. 4. Whether the proposed costs of travel and accommodation are reasonable.
5. Whether the visitor has not been granted funds from CCSA within the previous three years.
6. Evidence of additional support funds from other sources. Where the visitor is to be attached to a Hospital or University Department, CCSA expects that a contribution towards the total costs will be derived from other sources.
7. Direct relevance to cancer control.
8. The visitor has not had any association with the tobacco industry. CCSA will not support individuals or institutions that receive support directly or indirectly from, or are involved with organisations that are part of or funded by, the tobacco industry.
9. The grant is awarded on the basis that the supporting agency or department administers the grant.
10. Applicants should be aware that CCSA has identified the following priority areas for research: Cancer Prevention, Early Detection, Supportive Care, including palliative care, Epidemiology and Community Education. Applications in these areas are particularly encouraged
