This award funds high quality, hypothesis-driven research with clear objectives in primary prevention and population research. We also welcome applications including prevention interventional studies.
Applications are reviewed twice per year. Upcoming application deadlines: (interventional trial outline) 11 September 2025 / (full) 4 December 2025
Flexible, up to 3 years
Flexible, up to £500k
Our core eligibility criteria are outlined below. We strongly encourage you to contact us for an informal and confidential discussion of your proposal prior to submitting your full application. We will advise you on your eligibility and provide guidance on submitting your application.
Note that if you are applying for funding for an interventional trial, this scheme operates a closed round to ensure only eligible applications are submitted. If applicable, you must first submit an expression of interest.
You can apply for our Prevention and Population Project Award if you’re a scientist, clinician or healthcare worker who:
is based at a UK university, medical school, hospital or research institute (including our Institutes)
has some postdoctoral experience or equivalent
in most cases, is fully funded by the host institution for the duration of the award
We welcome researchers from all career stages to apply. We would strongly recommend that applications with an early-career researcher as lead or joint lead applicant include at least one established researcher as co-applicant for mentorship.
We outline how we define career stages in our competency framework.
We encourage applications from research teams, which can be located across different institutions in the UK. Supporting roles from international and commercial organisations may also be included as co-investigators and collaborators.
Your host institution must approve your application before the submission deadline. We advise contacting your institution’s administrative staff in advance.
You must ensure that your host institution will provide sufficient space and access to resources to undertake the proposed research.
If you receive core funding from one of our Institutes (including the Francis Crick Institute), you may apply as a joint lead applicant with a researcher based outside our institutes. However, you should explain why you require extra support in addition to the funding you receive from the institute.
You will need to distinguish your core funded research from the research in your proposal and demonstrate your ability to manage both programmes of work. If this applies to you, you must contact us before submitting your application.
You can submit applications for the same project to different funding bodies, including us. However, if successful, you may only accept one award. If applicable, please inform us and disclose this under the 'Other Funding' section of your application.
We may consider joint funding with other organisations. If you’re interested, please discuss this with us and the other potential funder before applying.
Career breaks (due to personal circumstances), part-time working and changes in discipline will be taken into consideration by our panels and committees to make appropriate adjustments when assessing your record of outputs, research achievements and career progression.
You can apply on a part-time or flexible working basis if this fits with the needs of your host institution and they approve your request.
If you’d like to apply on a part-time basis, please contact us before starting your application to discuss your proposed parameters for the award and how to include the part-time request in your application.
Our Prevention and Population Project Award provides support for focused research proposals centred on key questions in primary prevention and population research.
We will fund several research areas so long as your application considers a line-of-sight or population impact, clearly articulates the cancer-related question you’re focusing on and, where applicable, has clear relevance to cancer prevention as outlined in our prevention research strategy.
We also welcome prevention intervention studies in outline applications.
Examples of areas we will consider include:
population-based studies, including classical, clinical and molecular epidemiological approaches, to help understand risk and disease aetiology, and to test and validate strategies to improve the prevention and control of cancer in patients and the public
incidence rates of cancer, including changes over time and geographies
investigation into the changes in cancer survival, driven by risk factors or other relevant factors
methodological and statistical research relating to prevention and population sciences
population-level epidemiological studies of secondary physical effects of cancer treatment.
risk stratification and associated cancer prevention studies, including identification of high-risk groups for whom preventative interventions would be beneficial and in which preventative intervention research could be conducted
exploratory and confirmatory clinical trials seeking to test the efficacy and safety of chemopreventive agents
development and evaluation of behavioural and lifestyle interventions to support prevention of cancer, including cancer recurrence, across a range of risk factors, for example, tobacco, alcohol, physical activity, sedentary behaviour, obesity and UV exposure at the individual or population level
screening as a form of prevention, including population-level trials of screening approaches
policy-focused research to help develop our policies and advocacy strategies regarding cancer prevention, including policy research on tobacco control
For more information on our strategic priorities, read our prevention research strategy and overarching research strategy.

We don’t provide infrastructure support to our clinical trials units or centres through this scheme. We also don’t support research focusing on prevention of relapse/recurrence, or projects that will audit or evaluate existing clinical pathways.
If you are unsure which funding committee is most suited to your research proposal, please contact us and we can provide a recommendation. You can also search our funding schemes to explore other opportunities.
Applications are considered twice a year by the Prevention and Population Research Committee, assisted by our Expert Review Panels and Patient and Public Review Panel.
The standard review process (non-interventional trials) involves the following steps:
After contacting us for an informal and confidential discussion of your proposal, you can start your application on our online grants management system, Flexi-Grant.
Your application will be peer-reviewed by the Expert Review Panel. You will have the opportunity to provide a written response to their comments ahead of the panel meeting. The panel will consider your application alongside their comments and your response to the comments before making a recommendation.
Your application will also be reviewed by our Patient and Public Review Panel regardless of the level of patient and public involvement (PPI) within the proposal. The panel will mainly focus on your lay summary, PPI plan including associated costs and study population, if applicable, and the proposed clinical/population impact of your work.
Recommendations from both panels will be considered by the Prevention and Population Research Committee who make final funding decisions.
Learn more about how we make funding decisions
For interventional trials only, you must first submit an expression of interest. This will be reviewed in line with our eligibility criteria to determine whether you'll be invited to submit an application via Flexi-Grant.
There is typically an outline and full stage, however, you may be instructed to submit just a full application depending on your proposal.
You may not need to submit an outline application if:
you are applying for less than £500k of funding
you are applying for a feasibility study
your study follows seamlessly on from a feasibility study previously funded by us
your application is not an interventional trial
If your outline application is successful, you will be invited to submit a full project proposal as described above.
The Prevention and Population Research Committee and Expert Review Panel will review your proposal based on relevance to our strategy, statement of intent and a set of standard criteria.
You can find more information on the criteria by which applications are reviewed on our committee pages.
The five-year rolling success rate (financial year 2020-2025) from application to funding for this scheme is 37%.
Learn more about the committee
We offer early- to mid-career researchers the opportunity to observe panel and committee meetings across our funding remit and prioritise giving this opportunity to researchers from underrepresented groups.
Find out more about eligibility and how to apply
We will provide feedback on your application, but all funding decisions are final. Committee members cannot discuss their decisions with applicants, so please do not approach them directly. This allows our committee members to keep the Code of Practice for Funding Committees, which keeps our review process fair and protects applicants, committee members and external reviewers.
Our review process is extremely important to us, so we reserve the right to decline applications from anyone who compromises its integrity. We do not accept resubmissions, unless recommended by the committee.
We consider applications for this award twice a year.
Some applications will require an outline application. If shortlisted, your full application will be reviewed in the subsequent funding round (for instance, an outline application submitted in autumn, will be reviewed in full in the spring committee meeting).
Full applications due by: deadline past
Interventional trial outline applications (if required) due by: 11 September 2025
Full applications due by: 4 December 2025
Interventional trial outline applications (if required) due by: March 2026
You can apply for up to £500k for funding for this award. You can use this to fund salaries for postdoctoral researchers and technical staff, with associated running costs. You can also request equipment costing up to £50k. If equipment exceeds this value, please contact us to discuss your requirements.
This award can be shorter or longer than three years and the funding request can vary. If you think you have compelling and exceptional scientific rationale to justify exceeding the standard funding amount or duration you must contact us to discuss this prior to applying.
You can find further detail on what funds can be requested in our costs guidance.

You will be asked to upload your trial schema.
You will be asked to upload a Gantt chart setting out key milestones in your project, for example first site open, all patients recruited.
You will be asked to upload a signed cover letter on headed paper. This should not exceed a single page. When you submit a cover letter in your full application, please include how you have addressed any committee feedback from the outline application stage. The full application will be reviewed by an expert review panel that includes peer reviewers who will not have reviewed your outline submission.
A separate text field is provided for you to describe a patient and public involvement (PPI) plan to explain how these add value to your proposal. If you are not including a PPI plan in your application, you must explain why and justify why it would not add value to your research.
Clearly outline your proposed PPI plan, its rationale and how it will add value to your research proposal. This could include how you’ll involve patients in the development of research questions, research planning and design, or evaluation and/or sharing of research findings. The approach you use should be relevant for the type of study and the research field, and you should explain your reasoning for the proposed approach (including who and how).
Be sure to include:
detail on specific methods to involve patients and the public, in all aspects of the project, such as focus groups, advisory boards or community forums
outline recruitment plans to engage diverse communities which define the specific roles of the individuals involved in your planned activities
how you are offering support, guidance and development opportunities where appropriate for those involved in your research
a detailed budget breakdown for planned PPI costs, ensuring they align with the level of involvement
Where it would add value, also consider involving key patient/public members as part of the study co-investigators and/or steering group.
There are differences between what we mean by participation, engagement and involvement. Please ensure you are using the correct term, relevant for your proposed study.
Our PPI toolkit for researchers can help you implement PPI plans, including guidance around how to choose the right method, budgeting, recruiting, delivering and evaluating your activity.
Learn more about our PPI in research and access the toolkit
All applicants must provide a clear lay summary. This should not simply be an adaptation of the research abstract.
It should be written in clear and concise language that is understandable for the average UK reading age (9-11 years old).
As part of your lay summary you should include:
the study background, assuming the reader has no prior knowledge of the topic
the study aims and its importance
the scale of the current problem
an overview of how the study would be conducted
how the study will make a difference and what the expected immediate study outcomes are, including why the findings will enable change that provides longer term benefits for people affected by cancer
If relevant, also include:
the study population
how the study reduces health inequalities or inequities
how people affected by cancer and members of the public are involved in the delivery of the study
Where possible, involve patient/public members in drafting and reviewing the lay summary. Your host institution may provide support with writing lay summaries.
View our guidance on writing in plain English
View NIHR guidance on writing in plain English
Input from people affected by cancer and members of the public should be meaningful not tokenistic. And where possible, the people you plan to involve should have personal experience (including caring) that is relevant to your study question.
Please consider the number of people involved and their time commitment, ensuring that involvement does not burden them, especially patients who may be undergoing treatment.
You should consider the breadth and relevance of insight obtained, especially if your project is focused on a particular target population. Try to gather a diverse, wider view, and to address health inequalities where possible.
There may be barriers in identifying representatives from certain target populations, due to health or personal reasons. But you should try and find ways to mitigate or minimise these kinds of barriers to involvement to ensure your research is applicable to as broad a population as possible.
You may nominate up to 10 reviewers who would be qualified to assess your application critically. You should not nominate individuals if you have had a close collaboration with them, or if you have published with them in the last three years.
You can also nominate referees to exclude from the review process, but please provide justification for the exclusion. We will decide on the final selection of reviewers and nominations must comply with our conflicts of interest policy.
Read our conflicts of interest policy
For this award, you will need to submit a justification appendix. For details on how to complete this, please see the link below.
View our justification appendix guidance
Please upload statements of support on headed paper from:
the host institution of joint lead applicants or co-investigators based at a different institution to the lead applicant
collaborator letters of support, outlining what specific expertise and skills they will contribute to the work (not exceeding two pages each)
additional letters of support from appropriate advisory bodies
Early-career researchers will also need letters of support from their group leader.
In this section, you will be asked a series of questions about your proposed research, including whether you plan to conduct animal, human or human stem cell research and whether the appropriate approval has been granted. In addition, whether you anticipate that the proposed work will result in any output which can be translated to cancer patient benefit or otherwise commercialised.
If you plan to involve patients, patient tissue or patient information in your research, you’ll need to get ethical approval. You and your host institution are responsible for ensuring you comply with all legal requirements and ethics approval.
If you need to confirm funding arrangements before you can get ethical approval, we can make you a provisional offer of funding. However, funds may not be released until you’ve sent us written confirmation of ethical approval. Please bear this in mind when you propose a start date for your award.
If you need any other regulatory approval (eg sponsorship, Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency approval, Clinical Trial Authorisation approval, insurance or indemnity arrangements, data protection registration, or honorary contracts with NHS Trusts and Trust R&D approval for sites that research is conducted), we may also need written confirmation before we release funding.
We will review this on a case-by-case basis.
We require a data sharing plan for all funding applications to ensure that the data generated through our funding will be put to maximum use by the cancer research community and, whenever possible, be translated to deliver patient benefit.
Your plan should include how data resulting from this project will be made available as widely and freely as possible to the academic scientific community at the earliest opportunity, and to additional potential commercial partners through a controlled access mechanism, considering patient privacy, intellectual property rights and other applicable laws.
Detail the steps that will be taken to ensure that the data resulting from this project will adopt the FAIR principles of findable, accessible, interoperable, and re-usable data.
Provide details for when data collected and generated by the project will be made available: 1) how and when after generation will raw data be made available for research purposes; 2) how and when after analysis will processed data be made available for research purposes; 3) how and when after journal publication will analysed data and methods be made available for secondary research
Broadly describe the proposed ethics and patient consent statement (if relevant) for sharing and release (and withdrawal) of (de-identified) data that will align with the FAIR principles, including the potential future sharing for commercial use.
Describe how sharing of the data collected or generated under this project with commercial entities will be approached?
Define the planned process for enabling international data sharing (both within the investigator team, if relevant, and external to the team) and list the necessary contractual agreements that will need to be executed to deliver the proposed data sharing platform.
Describe the data standards and definitions that the investigator team plan to use for the project including how these align with existing data standards in the research community and how the investigator team will ensure that the standards are consistent to facilitate ease of sharing.
Describe the data governance and data architecture model (including diagrams as relevant).
Describe the future ambitions and processes for granting access to the data beyond the initial research team and research questions proposed in this application. Include how infrastructure will be created during the project to enable these ambitions and what the anticipated timeline is for broader access.

You should provide the costs that you’re requesting from us as part of your award. Add these costs under the relevant headings and justify them in your justification appendix.
Note that we will apply indexation to your application costs according to our policy. In addition, any ineligible costs will be removed. If this is relevant, we will contact you. As a result, the final costs awarded through an official Grant Award Letter may differ from those of the original costs requested.
In this section, you should list all non-Cancer Research UK current and pending research applications or awards held or jointly held by yourself.
Please include the principal investigator, title, start and end dates, funding amount, funding body, type of award and whether it is current or pending. Also include a brief explanation of how this application will fit in with any current awards from us or other organisations that you hold. This helps the committee to understand the time commitment and scientific overlap with your other award(s) and the feasibility of holding our fellowship alongside.
You are permitted to submit parallel funding applications but must highlight this in your application.
As a member of the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC), we monitor the full economic costs of the research we support. This means, you will need to complete an AMRC full economic costing information form as part of your application package.
full economics cost: please enter the total cost of your proposed research
charity contribution: please enter the total amount you’re requesting from us.
Note that this information will not be reviewed as part of your final application.

When applying, you will be invited to join to our multi-journal pilot project on registered reports. If you opt-in to this pilot and your grant application is successful, you will have the opportunity to submit registered reports to your choice of participating journals for peer review.
By receiving peer review feedback before you start your research project, you’ll have the chance to refine your methods. This can help reduce publication bias and improve reproducibility of your research. Once the research project concludes, you can then submit a second publication with results and discussion.
We’ll provide more details about this process once you receive an award.
Your decision to take part in this pilot, and any anonymised data collected will not influence our decision-making process and will only be used for this pilot programme and its evaluation. We will store your information securely in accordance with UK law and our Privacy Policy.
Please contact us if you have questions about your eligibility, application or active award.
