KWF BOOST programme

📣 Pre-announcement

BOOST (Bridging Obstacles for Optimal model use via Shared Technical expertise)

The BOOST programme provides additional funding to strengthen the translational relevance of oncology drug development within KWF projects. The goal is to optimize the preclinical phase by supporting the use of advanced, clinically relevant models and experimental designs, so that research findings more accurately inform clinical performance.

BOOST funding is available exclusively as an add-on to ongoing or recently completed KWF projects. Funding is provided for training, implementation and validation of advanced techniques or models within a lab. If in-house capacity or infrastructure is lacking, specialized experiments or validations can also be outsourced to external expert partners such as academic service providers or CROs.

With BOOST, KWF encourages research teams to develop cancer drugs in settings that maximize clinical relevance.
