Funding your discoveries

CRT is able to offer additional funding to further your research, through the Discovery Committee - a joint initiative between CRT and Cancer Research UK - with the aim of directly developing research for patient benefit.

The aim of the scheme is to improve the likelihood of research eventually leading to a new preventative, therapeutic or diagnostic entity by:

Funding supports pre-clinical development projects within host laboratories or can facilitate collaborative drug discovery programmes within CRT's Discovery laboratories. 

  • Assessment of the potential value of research findings for developing new preventative and therapeutic approaches;
  • Establishing a project plan, which charts a route developing research findings;
  • Funding of the project plan to achieve specific milestones and endpoints;
  • Management and monitoring of the project by CRT and the charity to achieve goals within agreed timescales.

CRT is responsible for the identification of innovative opportunities, initial review and subsequent support of Discovery Fund grant applications. Awards are approved and overseen by the Discovery Committee. Further information is available here.
