Opportunities

The VCCC Alliance is proud to partner once again with the Picchi Brothers Foundation for the 2023 Picchi Awards for Excellence in Cancer Research.

Up to three $10,000 prizes recognising outstanding cancer research will be awarded to PhD students from across the VCCC Alliance member organisations and regional partners with a collaboration agreement.

The flexible program is designed to be of interest to PhD students with either a scientific or clinical background, including medical graduates, nursing and allied health specialists.

The VCCC Alliance is offering scholarships for staff from VCCC Alliance member organisations, and the regional cancer workforce, to undertake a Melbourne MicroCert (online, short course through the University of Melbourne) in Clinical Trial Protocol Design. Time commitment is approx 4 hours per week, delivered flexibly, allowing you to learn on your own schedule, within the timeframe.

Up to 10 scholarships will be awarded to cover 75 per cent of fees for this MicroCert course starting in 21 August 2023.
