We support outstanding research
We invest in exceptional scientists and can support you throughout your career.
We fund individual projects and fellowships, large-scale team science programmes, multidisciplinary collaborations and international consortia.
Our research strategy
Making discoveries. Driving progress. Bringing hope.
Our strategy shapes how we'll discover more about how cancer develops and progresses to unlock new and better ways to prevent, detect and treat it.
Research opportunities
We fund research across four primary objectives – discovery, detection, prevention and treatment – to build a deeper understanding of every aspect of cancer that will ultimately lead to longer, healthier lives.
Other opportunities
We also support research and translation that spans our four key objectives. Access the support you need to maximise the impact of your work in these areas.
