Do you have a bold idea that could help prevent, diagnose or treat cancer?
We fund discovery research.
We have invested in over 2,000 research projects led by visionary scientists around the world since 1979. You could be next.
Our vision is to see a day when no life is cut short by cancer. We believe that this can only be achieved through research.
Many of the projects we have funded have already helped improve the lives of people with cancer, and others are opening up entirely new areas of cancer research. But we know that there is still so much more work to be done.
That is where you come in.
Wherever you are in the world, and whatever type of cancer you research, if your best idea meets our funding criteria, we want to hear from you.
