Funding Opportunity to Tackle Cancer Research Challenges (Worldwide)

The National Cancer Institute and Cancer Research UK are making grants of up to £20 million available for international researchers tackling some of the biggest challenges in cancer research.

The funding is made available through the Cancer Grand Challenges initiative which will support interdisciplinary teams to take on some of the biggest obstacles that impede progress against cancer. The new challenges for this year include tackling cancer inequalities and understanding why there is a rise in early-onset cancers in adults globally.

Previously funded teams include the Mutograph team which shed light on the way ex-smokers’ lungs heal and repair, and the IMAXT team which built the first model of cancer that can be viewed in virtual reality.

Expressions of interest should be submitted by the 22nd June 2023.
