Co-funding opportunities
Working together helps us to advance research quickly and support the best ideas. We are pleased to partner with a number of other cancer research funders and we are keen to work with more.
Join us to fund even more cutting-edge ideas with potential for impact.
Our vision of seeing a day when no life is cut short by cancer is shared by many organisations, both in the UK and around the world. To maximise our impact and bring forward more new breakthroughs we are always looking to work with other cancer research funders.
Our 2025 Grant Round:
We are delighted that this year our Grant Round is being run in partnership with:
- Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer
- The Brain Tumour Charity
- Cancer Research Society
- La Fondation ARC
- Irish Cancer Society (Head of Research Dr Claire Kilty pictured)
A note for all research applications
Please be assured that we still welcome applications for projects on any cancer type and from any country. These will not have a reduced chance of success as a consequence of any of our funding partnerships. Importantly, working with our chosen funding partners will allow us to fund additional projects.
The Irish Cancer Society is delighted to co-fund with Worldwide Cancer Research. We have a limited research budget so by working together, we can make our funding go further and importantly start more cancer cures. Worldwide Cancer Research have excellent funding processes, and fund the best ideas around the world, so by working with them we know we will be supporting high-quality, impactful research.
