PhD & Project Grant Call 2025

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 young researchers to build their careers through project grant funding.

We are therefore pleased to be inviting proposals for PhD and post-doctoral projects. 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
