Scientific Discoveries to Clinic Survey

Background

A key pillar of the new VCCC Alliance Strategic Program Plan is to accelerate the translation of research discoveries into clinical practice.

The exciting new Accelerating Novel Therapies program seeks to deliver on this goal by increasing opportunity for researchers and clinicians to engage with Industry^.

Planning is currently underway to establish the Scientific Discoveries to Clinic project and we need your help. We are asking all researchers and clinicians from within the VCCC Alliance and stakeholder networks to complete this short 10-minute survey to gauge current understanding in translation and interest in engaging with Industry.

^ Industry engagement is defined as any partnership were expertise is shared to solve real-world problems and translate research into impact. Partnerships may be commercial, not-for-profit, government, consumer-led or community organisations.
