Característica
Objectiu de la convocatòria
3-year grants to support fundamental or translational research into the prevention, diagnosis or treatment of cancer.
Característiques principals
We are looking for innovative research that takes intellectual risks. We want to see ideas which have the potential to start new lines of research and to tell us something new about cancer and how it could be prevented, diagnosed or treated. Projects should seek to answer a focused research question, not be an incremental piece of research tied to a larger programme grant.
We are looking for proposals with a creative approach to answering fundamental questions that could change how we think about cancer. Often these are ideas that other funders may overlook.
We need to see robust scientific reasoning and appropriate solid methodology to back it up. The aims of a project should be feasible with the time and resources requested, and with the expertise of the research team.
We do not prioritise any field of research; we welcome research projects with a strong scientific hypothesis 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.
We do not support clinical research, including clinical trials, patient care, nursing or healthcare delivery research. Neither do we support other types of applied cancer research such as policy, public health or psychosocial research. 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 grants@worldwidecancerresearch.org for advice before submitting your proposal.
