Ragnhild Lothe's group supported from National Cancer Plan
As a follow-up of National Cancer Plan (1999-2003) the Norwegian Research Council prepared the strategy plan "Increased emphasis on cancer research".
Among the twelve major cancer research projects that will receive funding the following four years is Ragnhild Lothe's project "Developmental biology of solid tumours may pave the way for advanced medicine".
During a four-year period several major cancer research projects have been supported according to this plan, funded by the Ministry of Health. New resources were announced during the spring of 2004. An international committee evaluated the applications, and the Research Council reached a decision on June 17th. The resources have gone to both continuation and to start-up of new major projects running for several years.
