Features
The Mari Paz Jiménez Casado Foundation, in collaboration with the Spanish Sarcoma Research Group (GEIS), is launching the Sarcoma Research Grant to fund an original research project that will advance our understanding of sarcomas and lead to improved diagnosis and treatment of these diseases.
The research project must focus on the field of sarcomas and may be epidemiological, translational, or preclinical in nature, addressing questions of interest that could lead to easy translation into clinical practice and result in improved survival or quality of life for patients with sarcoma.
Special support will be provided for studies involving collaboration among several hospitals in the group, with the aim of maximizing the synergistic potential of the research.
Requirements:
- Hold a bachelor’s degree in Medicine and Surgery (although a doctoral degree is considered a plus), with a specialization in one of the following medical fields: Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Pathology, Orthopedic Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, General Surgery, and other medical specialties related to sarcomas. Graduates with degrees in Biology, Biochemistry, or Pharmacy may also apply for these fellowships.
- Applicants must be affiliated with a healthcare or research institution capable of carrying out the proposed scientific project.
- Become a GEIS Member.
- Exclusive dedication to the proposed research project is not required.

- The project may be co-funded by other grants and/or research projects.
- Each researcher may submit only one project, whether as principal investigator or co-investigator.
- This grant may be combined with other grants or financial aid, whether public or private, provided that the FMPJC and the GEIS do not consider the project to be already sufficiently funded.
