Apply for Funding
We offer two funding rounds per year for conference and training course grants. There is one round per year for projects, senior fellowships and scholarships. From time to time, the Cancer Research Trust also invites applications in specific areas, through a Special Call for Applications.
The Cancer Research Trust Board together with our Assessing Committee is reviewing our research investments and as a result a small number of our Fellowships will not be available in 2023.
