We are pleased to announce the 2021 round of the Neuroendocrine Cancer UK Research Grant in support of NET research. This is open to basic science, clinical and translational researchers from investigators across all healthcare disciplines in the UK and Ireland. Applications are invited from UKINETS members. Funds supporting the grant have been raised by Neuroendocrine Cancer UK and UKINETS. The aim of this grant is to provide pump-priming funds to support research projects designed to improve outcomes for patients with Neuroendocrine Tumours and is not to be utilised as part of a bigger research programme.
Ambitious proposals that encourage collaborations between centres are encouraged. It is anticipated that these grants will lead to more substantive grant funding and applicants are required to provide a clear development plan as part of the proposal. Proposals are welcome from researchers in all relevant fields of neuroendocrine tumour research, including all GEP tumours, bronchial and rectal NETs, adrenal and medullary thyroid cancers. However, small cell cancer of lung is beyond the remit of this funding stream. The funds are to be used to cover research costs but not travel expenses, salaries or major equipment.
