Applications Invited for World Cancer Research Fund International Research Grant
Organization: World Cancer Research Fund International
Apply By: 07 Nov 2022
Grant Amount: 350000 Pound
About the Organization
World Cancer Research Fund International examines how diet, weight and physical activity affect your risk of developing and surviving cancer.
As part of an international network of charities, we have been funding life-saving research, influencing global public health policy and educating the public since 1982.
About the Grant
Our research focuses on cancer prevention and survival, looking at mechanisms or host factors.
The Regular Grant Programme comprises two main grant types: investigator initiated grants (IIGs) and pilot and feasibility grants (PFGs). IIGs are for researchers working on our research areas and themes, while PFGs are intended as start-up funds for preliminary research to allow the development of innovative ideas, new methodologies and new research tools relevant to our research themes.
Investigator initiated grants -
Eligible applicants: lead applicants must hold a research position at the host institution for the duration of the project.
Eligible organisations: anywhere in the world except the Americas (North America, Central America including the Caribbean, and South America).
Level of funding: up to £350,000 (no more than £100,000 for any 1 year).
Duration of funding: up to 4 years.
Pilot and feasibility grants -
Eligible applicants: lead applicants must hold a research position at the host institution for the duration of the project.
Eligible organisations: anywhere in the world except the Americas (North America, Central America including the Caribbean, and South America).
Level of funding: up to £60,000.
Duration of funding: up to 2 years.
Grant themes -
Our regular grant programme groups research into two themes – cancer prevention and cancer survivors. Each of these areas may be addressed either from the perspective of identifying the mechanisms that underpin the effect of diet, nutrition and physical activity on cancer, or by addressing the host factors that influence individual susceptibility to cancer development or progression, and so contribute to explaining variability between people in outcomes.
For cancer survivors, we also encourage broader research into evidence for impact of diet, nutrition (including body composition), physical activity and outcomes after cancer diagnosis, as robust evidence on this is still lacking.
How to Apply
Applications must be made using our Grants Management System. Once registered with the system, you will have access to the application forms for open grant rounds. You will find instructions on how to complete the applications on the WCRF GMS site and in the instructions PDFs listed above for both grant types.
