Description

Cancer Research UK and the Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland jointly fund this bursary for early-career clinical academic researchers working at the intersection of pathology and cancer. It supports research experience, skills development and preliminary data collection before applying for PhD or MD fellowships, helping medical trainees develop academic careers in cancer research.

Basic and translational projects are accepted across cancer biology, preclinical studies, imaging, radiotherapy, engineering and physical sciences, population research and early detection. Projects must clearly articulate a cancer-related question, and model-system proposals must explain the model’s relevance. Strategic priorities include early detection, children’s and young people’s cancers, and cancers of unmet need: brain, lung, oesophageal, pancreatic, liver and stomach cancer.
