Open Call 2026

Cancer Research Wales has a proud history of supporting the next generation of cancer researchers through the funding of PhD studentships, as well as enabling researchers to build their careers through project grant funding.

We are therefore pleased to be inviting proposals for new projects, encompassing PhD studentships, project grants and Innovation grants. These can take place in any cancer-related field and are not limited to any specific cancer type.

The proposal should align with our Research Strategy which comprises four broad themes:

• Discovery and Translational Research
• Screening, Prevention and Early Diagnosis
• Better Treatments
• Health Systems and Outcomes Research

If you are unsure if your proposal is suitable, please contact our Head of Research, Dr Lee Campbell, by e-mail: lee.campbell@cancerresearchwales.org.uk
