Aim: Worldwide Cancer Research supports research that seeks to answer the difficult questions in cancer biology through innovative and truly novel ideas that have the potential to revolutionize our understanding of cancer and how to beat it.
Project grants support basic, fundamental or translational research into the prevention, diagnosis or treatment of cancer. No priority is given to any field of research within this; research that draws on epidemiological, behavioral and clinical data to provide a starting point for a new avenue of research is welcome. Multidisciplinary or discipline-hopping projects are encouraged where this helps stimulate innovation.

Eligibility: The principal investigator on the application must be a suitably qualified researcher (minimum of PhD followed by three years research experience, or equivalent qualification or research experience) based at any not-for-profit research institution anywhere in the world
How to Apply: Applications should be sent using the dedicated online platform, and detailed instructions can be found in the Grant Application Handbook. Applications must be approved by an Authorizing Officer before submission; contact the Research Office for this step.
