Funding Committees

Cancer Research UK funds across the whole range of cancer research, within Institutes, universities and medical schools throughout the UK.

Cancer Research UK's Research Funding Committee structure is designed to ensure excellence in peer review and provides a balance of strategic and response mode funding streams. Each Committee has its own remit and range of awards and each adheres to a common Code of Practice. Strategic oversight of all Committee activities is taken by the Scientific Executive Board.

All funding Committees adhere to the common Terms of Reference, which can be downloaded from the right hand navigation. Supplementary Terms of Reference are also applicable to the individual funding Committees and these can be viewed on the relevant Committee pages.
