The Population Research Committee (PRC) is responsible for the oversight, development, review, funding and management of a portfolio of awards for research Programmes,Projects and Small Grants in population science.
The Population Research Committee considers applications in the following areas:
- Clinical and public health epidemiology (excluding primary and secondary prevention studies involving medical interventions, e.g. vaccines and chemoprevention)
- Educational and behavioural research in areas of prevention, screening and early diagnosis.
The Committee will also consider applications for funding for proposals considering clinical trials methodologies or statistics and proposals considering secondary effects of treatment.
Applications are judged on the basis of scientific excellence, innovation and relevance to cancer research. The Committee meets twice a year and assesses all applications on the basis of their scientific and strategic importance, whilst also studying the expert peer review which is collated for each grant.
