Improving Outcomes for Men Impacted by Cancer Award 2021

The Irish Cancer Society is seeking to develop and pilot a dedicated two-year integrated survivorship research programme, aimed at better engaging with and supporting men in Ireland post-cancer treatment.  With approximately 13,000 men diagnosed with invasive cancer every year, men in Ireland are more likely to get cancer compared to women, and are 30% more likely to die from their malignancy.  Furthermore, at a recent stakeholder workshop held to examine the unmet needs of men affected by cancer in Ireland, contributors highlighted the glaring issues and disparities facing male cancer survivors, and particularly emphasised the challenge of supporting men to engage with cancer survivorship services to derive an optimal outcome for their illness.  Applications are being sought for an 'Improving Outcomes for Men Impacted by Cancer Award 2021'.  This will provide funding of approximately €300,000 towards a project of a minimum of 24 months’ duration.  Find out more at: https://tinyurl.com/wxn667k4
