If you have a novel, exciting and creative idea that could help prevent, diagnosis or treat cancer, we may be able to support you with a project grant. Since our foundation in 1979, we have invested in nearly 2,000 research projects around the world.
Many of these projects have already improved the lives of people with cancer, and others are opening up entirely new areas of cancer research. However, we know there is still so much to do, and this is where you come in.
