  Every year, ANZSA is proud to fund Australian researchers through its Sarcoma Research Grant Program with the aim to improve early diagnosis, treatment options, outcomes and quality of life for sarcoma patients.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

  Since the formalisation of the ANZSA Sarcoma Research Grant Program in 2011, the organisation has awarded more than 30 local researchers with grants worth over $1.2 million.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

  The ANZSA Sarcoma Research Grant Program is funded by generous sarcoma charitable foundations that were established by friends and families.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

  Upon realising the challenges in sarcoma research and treatment due to resources and awareness, these foundations decided to make a difference for future sarcoma patients through fundraising campaigns.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
