Applications now open

Apply for our 2018/2019 research grants

The call for applications for our annual grant programme is now open. We welcome applications for proposals on research into the links between diet, nutrition, body composition and physical activity, and cancer prevention and survival. The application process will be open for three months and the deadline to submit is 4 October.

Proposals for research may be for identifying mechanisms that underpin the effects of diet, nutrition and physical activity on cancer, or for research to address the risk factors that influence individual susceptibility to cancer development, progression and survival, contributing to the evidence on variability between people in outcomes. However, we can only accept applications focussing on the identification of likely causal links between diet, nutrition and physical activity after cancer diagnosis that relate to cancer survivors.
