Cancer is one of the world’s greatest health challenges and Cancer Research UK are determined to ensure that beating it means beating it for everyone.
To achieve this, they will support high-quality research into understanding and addressing the role of biology and its interaction with other contributing factors in shaping unequal experiences of cancer. They'll also ensure that the research they fund meaningfully includes underrepresented communities, so that implementing these innovations doesn’t deepen existing inequalities.
By funding and supporting a diverse and inclusive community of excellent researchers, they'll drive impactful research that benefits all.
Cancer Research UK's new approach is data-driven and focuses on areas where we can make the greatest difference in the next five years.
