KBS - call for research projects Biochemical Action Mechanisms in Cancer

Research

Funding organisation:

Fondation Roi Baudoin

What?

The King Baudouin Foundation and several funds have launched a call for research projects on biochemical action mechanisms in cancer. Eligible projects must focus on fundamental, pre-clinical, or translational research exploring biochemical action mechanisms in cancer, such as protein-protein/protein-DNA interactions, tumor heterogeneity, and metastasis. Proposals using novel ex vivo models or high-resolution single-cell omics are particularly encouraged.

In 2026, these funds will collectively support two research projects, each with a maximum budget of €225,000 for a duration of three years.

Who?

The call is open to open to early career post-doctoral researchers (≤ 8 years of active research post-PhD, with allowances for career breaks). Applicants must be affiliated with a Belgian university or not-for-profit research center (minimum 50% appointment).

Projects must be initiated and coordinated in Belgium, with interdisciplinary and international collaborations encouraged.

Application?

If you are interested, please submit an online application via the website of the King Baudouin Foundation. Applications should be submitted in English by 18/05/2026 at midnight at the latest.
