Característica
Objectiu de la convocatòria
3-year grants to support fundamental or translational research into the prevention, diagnosis or treatment of cancer.
Característiques principals
WCR supports research that seeks to answer the difficult questions in cancer biology. We are looking for innovative and truly novel ideas that have the potential to revolutionise our understanding of cancer and how to beat it.
We award project grants to support basic, fundamental or translational research into the prevention, diagnosis or treatment of cancer. We do not prioritise any field of research within this; we welcome research that draws on epidemiological, behavioural and clinical data to provide a starting point for a new avenue of research. Multidisciplinary or discipline-hopping projects are encouraged where this helps stimulate innovation.
The research described in your application should be a discrete, hypothesis-driven project, achievable within the duration of the support requested.
WCR does not support clinical research, including clinical trials, patient care, nursing or healthcare delivery research. It also does not support other types of applied cancer research such as policy, public health or psychosocial research.
Proposals that contain a small clinical element as an essential part of a basic or translational research project are often permitted, but you are advised to contact WCR for advice before submitting your proposal. More information can also be found in our application handbook.
