Overview
This Regular Grant Programme funds research into the effects of diet, nutrition (including body composition) and physical activity on cancer prevention and survivors. This is helping us to achieve our mission of living in a world where no one develops a preventable cancer and improving the lives of cancer survivors.
How to Apply
Applicants can register and apply at http://wcrf-applications.org/regulargrantprogramme-outlineapp/ .
Eligibility
- Grant applications are open to a Principal Investigator based at a research institution from any country outside the Americas (North America, Central America including the Caribbean, and South America).
- The AICR Research Grant Programme (aicr.org) accepts applications from the Americas. World Cancer Research Fund International encourages international collaborations. Please note that although the Principal Investigator of an application cannot be from an institution based in the Americas, co-applicants and collaborators can be based in those countries, and a portion of the research work can be carried out at their institutions.
- The Principal Investigator must hold a senior established research position (not a PhD student) at the host institution.
- Only one application per Principal Investigator per grant cycle is permitted. Only one person can act as the Principal Investigator, though an applicant can be a Principal Investigator for one application and a co-applicant in one or more other applications (up to a maximum of four).
- If a Principal Investigator moves institution or the application changes Principal Investigator during the review process, the applicant must alert us before the change takes place.
- The Principal Investigator’s salary cannot be covered by the grant, wholly or partly.
