We work closely with our global men's health partners to ensure collaboration, transparency and accountability for every project we fund. We monitor this through report cards which detail what we seek to achieve, key measures and the impact.
Prostate Cancer
"Together with the brightest minds in research, we aim to achieve significant breakthroughs in the hope of beating prostate cancer. Our disruptive funding approach identifies revolutionary ways to accelerate health outcomes by creating strong, global collaborative teams." Dr. Colleen Nelson, Global Scientific Chair.
Men's Health
"One Mo can help change the face of men’s health through the powerful conversations created globally during Movember. Men have the chance to confidently discuss men’s health with people around them, resulting in men taking action early, helping change and save lives." Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programmes
Mental health and suicide prevention
“The number of men taking their own lives around the world is one of the biggest challenges of our time. Movember is working to ensure all men and boys look after their mental health and are comfortable to seek help when they’re struggling.”
Brendan Maher, Global Director, Mental Health and Suicide Prevention.
Testicular Cancer
“Despite being the 2nd most common cancer in young men, testicular cancer is often a forgotten cancer due to early detection and treatment. Our projects look at underinvested areas such as improving access to healthcare services and treatment options for relapse” Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programmes.

About the project

Each year, this research program selects the best prostate cancer research in both the Young Investigator and New Concepts categories, through an expert peer review process overseen by Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia's Research Advisory Committee. The program awards funding in the following priority areas:
1. Discover the genetic and cellular factors which initiate and/or perpetuate prostate cancer
2. Discover new specific tests to detect prostate cancer
3. Discover, develop and clinically validate new biomarkers to monitor treatment
4. Discover, new targeted treatment for locally-invasive or metastatic prostate cancer
5. Provide immediate improvements in the quality of life of patients with prostate cancer
Research Progress is monitored via annual reports submitted by each grantee. These reports provide details of peer reviewed scientific publications, national and international conference presentations of the achievements, academic promotions and other awards. Funding of more young scientists and senior investigators from other disciplines ensures that research into prostate cancer remains on the priority agenda nationally. Innovation brought into the filed by the funded New Concept Grantees allows for the development of new directions in prostate cancer research.
