The Geriatric Oncology Regional Victorian Trials Alliance, Linkages, Special populations, Equity program (GO ReViTALISE) initiative is part of a five-year state-wide Medical Research Future Fund grant to increase access to cancer clinical trials for older adults in regional Victoria.

The projects are on offer for 2023. Project examples include technology-based enhanced supportive care in treatment decision making for older adults and exercise as prescription in cancer care for older adults.
The projects offered would suit candidates with a passion for any of the following:

- quality of life
- ageing
- health in rural communities
