Our 2026 Grant Round is now Closed
We have now reached our cap of 500 applications. Thank you for your brilliant ideas!
Stay up to date about our 2027 Grant Round, you can join our researcher newsletter. It is sent three times per year - once every academic term - sharing updates on our funding, papers published, exciting news from our charity, and much more.
Our vision is to see a day when no life is cut short by cancer.
We believe this can only be achieved through research. And that's where you come in.
Many of the projects we have funded have already helped improve the lives of people with cancer, and others are opening up entirely new areas of cancer research. But there is still so much more work to be done. Wherever you are in the world, whatever type of cancer you research, if your best idea meets our funding criteria, we want to hear from you.
