DESCRIPTION:Aim: The aim of the WCRF Regular Grant Programme is to support
  innovative and original research into the role of diet\, nutrition and ph
 ysical activity in either Cancer Prevention or Cancer Survivorship.\n\nThe
  programme groups research into two themes – cancer prevention and cance
 r survivors. Each of these areas may be addressed either from the perspect
 ive of identifying the mechanisms that underpin the effect of diet\, nutri
 tion and physical activity on cancer\, or by addressing the host factors t
 hat influence individual susceptibility to cancer development or progressi
 on\, and so contribute to explaining variability between people in outcome
 s. For cancer survivors\, we also encourage broader research into evidence
  for impact of diet\, nutrition (including body composition)\, physical ac
 tivity and outcomes after cancer diagnosis\, as robust evidence on this is
  still lacking\n\nFunding is available for investigator-initiated grants (
 IIGs)\, and pilot and feasibility grants (PFGs). IIGs are for researchers 
 working on WCRF's research areas and themes. PFGs are intended as start-up
  funds for preliminary research to allow researchers to collect preliminar
 y data or test study parameters to take them to a stage where an applicati
 on for an IIG would be appropriate.\n\nDuration:\n\n	IIGs: 4 years\n	PFGs:
  2 years\n\nFunding:\n\n\n	IIGs: up to £500\,000\n	PFGs: up to £60\,000\
 n\nEligibility: Lead applicants must hold a research position at the host 
 institution for the duration of the project anywhere in the world except t
 he Americas.\n\nHow to Apply: Applications must be made using the foundati
 on’s Grants Management System. Once registered with the system\, you wi
 ll have access to the application forms for open grant rounds. You will f
 ind instructions on how to complete the applications on the WCRF GMS site
  and on the programme’s page. Ensure you carefully read through the ins
 tructions and the guidelines below.\n\nDeadline\, first stage: 30 October 
 2024\nDeadline\, Full proposal (by invite): March 2025\n\nFurther informat
 ion\n\n\n	More information about the program is available here and FAQ her
