The Precision Access Partnership Award recognises meaningful partnerships between pediatric oncology and diagnostic laboratories, molecular diagnostic companies, biotechnology companies, technology providers or other relevant industry partners that translate clinically relevant precision-oncology approaches into affordable, quality-assured and scalable access for children with cancer. A new molecular technology is not required; the central objective is implementation and scale.
