Who Evaluates Applications: the Scientific Committee

Transparency and rigour in research project selection

When you submit an application to Strongers to fund your oncology research, it does not end up in the hands of an improvised jury or automated algorithms. Behind every funding decision lies the work of the Scientific Committee, a body made up of independent experts tasked with rigorously evaluating each proposal.

How the evaluation works

The Scientific Committee is at the heart of Strongers' selection process. It examines every application according to objective and transparent criteria, ensuring that the funds raised through sport go to projects with the greatest scientific and clinical potential.

The committee's role is not limited to a simple yes or no. The experts assess:

• The scientific quality of the research proposal
• The innovation of the methodological approach
• The feasibility and projected timeline
• The potential impact on cancer treatment and prevention
• The expertise and track record of the research team

Independence and credibility

The independence of the Scientific Committee is fundamental to Strongers' credibility. Reviewers have no conflicts of interest with applicants and operate according to international peer review standards — the same standards used by leading scientific journals and the most prestigious research institutions.

This rigorous process ensures that every euro donated by our supporters — earned through Strongers' sporting challenges — goes to fund excellence in oncology research, with the greatest possible likelihood of generating concrete results for patients and medicine alike.

Your project deserves a serious evaluation

If you work in oncology research, you know all too well that the quality of scientific evaluation shapes the future of research. Strongers' Scientific Committee guarantees exactly that: rigour, transparency, and selection based on scientific merit.
