Deadline: 5 April 2019
Children with Cancer UK is seeking proposals for research projects that address improved treatment for and survival from childhood and young person cancer and into improved quality of ongoing life.
Children with Cancer UK’s mission is a threefold one of “Cause, Care, Cure”.
They particularly welcome submissions relevant to the teenage and young adult age group.
Funding Information
The maximum amount that can be applied for is up to £250,000 for applications from a single institution, or up to £350,000 for collaborations involving more than one institution, though most grants will be for less than this. Applications for smaller grants, up to around £50,000, to fund pilot investigations to test hypotheses, will also be considered.
Funding Criteria
- Their project grants are intended to provide funds for the employment of suitably qualified staff and the purchase of essential equipment and consumables for projects lasting up to three years that address the objectives outlined above.
- Please note that they will not contribute towards the cost of tenured posts nor can they contribute towards institutional overheads.
Eligibility Criteria
- Proposals must be submitted by a UK academic institution (university, hospital or research institute). They will consider funding international collaborations where researchers from a UK institution play a leading role. In the event that a grant is awarded to such a collaboration, the UK institution must take overall responsibility for management of the project and must undertake to administer the funding.
- Please note that they will accept no more than two proposals from a single research group.
How to Apply
Applications must be submitted online via given website.
