Introduction

Worldwide Cancer Research aims to find and fund life-saving research around the world to end the suffering and death caused by cancer.

Call objectives

The primary aim of the ERA-Net JPIAMR-ACTION co-funded call is:

• To support novel and invocative basic, fundamental and translational research into the prevention, diagnosis or treatment of cancer on any field within this area.
• To draw on epidemiological, behavioural and clinical data to provide a starting point for a new avenue of research.
• To promote multidisciplinary or discipline-hopping projects in order to stimulate innovation.

Budget

The maximum budget allowed is £250.000, however, most of the three-year grants awarded have a budget below £200.000. Grants cover the direct costs of the project, including:

• Research consumables and reagents.
• Salaries of research staff working directly on the project.
• Travel to conferences or to visit collaborators.
• Essential services or small pieces of specialist/unusual equipment.

Grants are 12 to 36 months in length.

The host institution must cover all indirect and overhead costs.

Eligibility

Grants are awarded to Principal Investigators based at not-for-profit research institutes anywhere in the world. Principal Investigators must be suitably qualified researchers (minimum of PhD followed by three years' research experience, or equivalent qualification or research experience).

The following cannot be funded:

• Requests for a contribution towards a large programme of work (eg the work of the entire laboratory), such as funding one member of the laboratory or part of the consumable costs.
• Clinical research, including clinical trials, patient care, nursing or healthcare delivery research.
• Other types of applied cancer research such as policy, public health or psychosocial research.

Application

• The proposal must be submitted before 31^th April through the application link showed below.
