Other radiotherapy research grants

This is planned to be the start of a wider programme of cancer research grants and other awards targeted specifically towards radiotherapy, underpinned by our ambitious 5 year, £5 million fundraising plan. This research grant programme will be open to all professions associated with radiotherapy, and will be reactive to the needs of our members. Grants may include:

• Pump priming grants
• Larger research grants
• Research training fellowships
• Research infrastructure grants for radiographers and physicists

Keep monitoring this page for more information. Remember, the amount of grant funding we can provide will depend on our fundraising. For more news on our fundraising activities, how you can get involved, and to donate to the charity, please visit our Charity section.
