Resume

The WCRF grant programme accepts applications on the link between diet, nutrition, body composition, physical activity and cancer prevention and survival.

An application to WCRF International must fall into one or more of the research themes listed here:

 

  • Identifying the mechanisms that underpin the effects of diet, nutrition and physical activity on cancer
  • Addressing the host factors that influence an individual’s susceptibility to cancer development or progression 

    Types of grants
  • Investigator Initiated Grants (IIGs)
  • Seed Grants (SGs): start-up funds for preliminary research to allow the development of innovative ideas, new methodologies and new research tools relevant to our Research Themes. This will allow researchers to collect preliminary data or test study parameters to take them to a stage where an application for an IIG would be appropriate

    Requirements

     

  • Applications are accepted from anywhere in the world, except the Americas.
