The new 5 per Mille Call for Proposals 2026 is dedicated to advancing precision oncology by addressing the complexity of tumors and their microenvironment. The Call will support innovative, interdisciplinary research with clear translational potential, aimed at improving diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment for cancers with the greatest unmet clinical needs. The program will fund collaborative multi-unit programs that integrate cutting‑edge technologies and bold, high‑risk/high‑gain approaches, while promoting the involvement of talented early‑career scientists. Funding may last up to six years, with periodic evaluations to ensure progress toward clinical impact.
