In recent years Neuroblastoma Australia has supported various research projects with Children’s Cancer Institute, The Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, UNSW Sydney and Sydney Children’s Hospital, and Cancer Council NSW.

To date Neuroblastoma Australia has funded more than $1.9 million into neuroblastoma research thanks to the generous support of the community. The 2020 funding round grant pool is $250,000.

Our expert Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) will independently review all research proposals and score them against our Assessment Matrix Proposals will be sent to specific specialists as required to provide additional recommendations. Neuroblastoma Australia will review all recommendations to determine which studies will be funded.

All applications must support the mission of Neuroblastoma Australia:

Our mission is that all children with all types of neuroblastoma survive and lead a long, healthy life, free from the side effects of their treatment. Our focus is raising awareness and fundraising for the research needed to make treatments more targeted, more effective and less toxic.

Detection, diagnosis & staging

Most symptoms of neuroblastoma are caused by the growth of the cancer into nearby tissues or organs, or its spread to distant parts of the body such as bones or bone marrow.
What is neuroblastoma?

Neuroblastomas are cancers that start in early nerve cells (called neuroblasts) of the sympathetic nervous system. This means that tumours can be found anywhere along this system; most commonly (about 50%) start in the adrenal glands (above the kidney), or near the spine, chest, neck or pelvis.
