Applications Invited for Cancer Grand Challenges Grant
Organization: Cancer Grand Challenges
Apply By: 22 Jun 2023
Grant Amount: USD
About the Organization
Cancer Grand Challenges supports a global community of diverse, world-class research teams to come together, think differently and take on some of cancer’s toughest challenges.
These are the obstacles that continue to impede progress and no one scientist, institution or country will be able to solve them alone. With a series of $25m awards, Cancer Grand Challenges teams are empowered to rise above the traditional boundaries of geography and discipline to ultimately change outcomes for people with cancer.
Founded by the two largest funders of cancer research in the world – Cancer Research UK and the National Cancer Institute in the US – and uniting an international community of partners, Cancer Grand Challenges aims to make the progress against cancer we urgently need.
About the Grant
Cancer Grand Challenges are intended to transform cancer research. Therefore, we are looking for applications that reflect this ambition. We want to see proposals for bold, innovative solutions to the challenges we have set, and to see evidence that applicants have actively sought out new, perhaps unusual, collaborations that will bring fresh thinking to these problems. Cancer Grand Challenges awards are not intended to fund research that would be fundable by other response-mode schemes and initiatives.
The Cancer Grand Challenges initiative supports teams involving investigators from institutions across the globe and from different disciplines. Ultimately, we are looking for the best teams with the best ideas to address the challenges. We also anticipate that proposals will drive global collaboration and bring together diverse expertise in a way that is not already happening. Including non-traditional disciplines is encouraged, both to drive the development of novel technologies or methodologies and to incorporate thinking from other fields that has not yet been applied to cancer. Teams will involve individuals with the potential to become future leaders in cancer research, as well as people affected by cancer to support efforts to ensure the needs of patients are heard and understood.
The end point of a Cancer Grand Challenges award does not need to be a clinical intervention or clinical impact within the duration of an award. To the greatest extent possible and appropriate, research plans to address a challenge should have a clear line of sight towards preventing, diagnosing or treating cancer.
Cancer Grand Challenges awards provide up to £20 million for the direct costs of research (research staff, associated running costs and equipment) and all patient advocate involvement and engagement activities. Direct costs are those costs that arise from the conduct of the research undertaken and are verifiable from accounting records. At EOI stage, teams are required to provide an approximate breakdown of their proposed costs against each work package over the lifetime of the award (as detailed in section 7.4). If funded, each institution hosting a component of a Cancer Grand Challenges award will be individually issued their proportion of the direct costs. ~50% of the direct costs will be issued in pounds sterling (GBP) by Cancer Research UK through a Grant Award Letter; ~50% will be issued in US dollars (USD) by NCI through a Notice of Award.
How to Apply
The deadline for Expressions of Interest is 22 June 2023. We’re inviting international teams to come together, think differently and take on one of our new challenges.
