Objectiu de la convocatòria
The goal of the Worldwide Cancer Research (formerly known as AICR) is to support research that might in future help reduce the incidence of cancer or improve cancer survival. The grants support fundamental or translational research into the causes, mechanisms, diagnosis, treatment or prevention of cancer. This remit is usually interpreted conservatively.
WCR does not support clinical or psychosocial research and other types of applied cancer research. This includes healthcare delivery or patient care research, health economics, public health or policy research, quality of life or behavioural studies, and clinical trials. This list is not exhaustive.
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's Grant Round Manager, Lorraine Black for advice before submitting your proposal. More information can also be found in our application handbook.
