All projects must be directly related to radiation oncology research in prostate cancer (including other urological malignancies). In 2012, a grant to the value of A$25,000 has been made available.
Oncura Bourne and Langlands Prize
The Oncura Bourne and Langlands Prize will be available annually to trainees in radiation oncology whose research requirement submission is deemed to be outstanding.
The assessment of trainee research requirement submissions has previously been two tiered with trainees awarded a grade of satisfactory or unsatisfactory. At a recent review, the Faculty Research Committee and the Education Board felt that excellence was not being recognised or rewarded. Each submission will now be graded as unsatisfactory, satisfactory or outstanding. Any submissions graded as outstanding will automatically be considered for the prize.
It is hoped that the establishment of this prize will provide candidates with a greater incentive for excellence, and a sense of achievement. The prize will only be awarded in the case of an exceptional submission.

This exciting position is under the broad supervision of Professor Peter Hoskin. It entails clinical work with a number of senior clinical oncologists within several subspecialty sites, as well as the conduct of clinical research projects.
