All researchers who conduct research supported by the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Centre must acknowledge the appropriate funders in their research publications and presentations, and where possible in all media communications (including written and spoken interviews with journalists).
Even if your research is not directly funded by the Centre, there may be indirect support. The Centre supports many research and operational staff based in the University and Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, as well as contributing to core infrastructure such as the Cancer Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory (CMDL), Cambridge Cancer Trials Centre (CCTC), and Cambridge Breast Cancer Research Unit (CBCRU).
The Cancer Research UK Cambridge Centre is funded primarily by a major centre award from Cancer Research UK. We receive additional funding from Cancer Research UK for the International Alliance for Cancer Early Detection (ACED), the CRUK radiation research network (RadNet), the CRUK Clinical Academic Training Programme, the CRUK Children’s Brain Tumour Centre of Excellence and the Cambridge Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre (ECMC).
We also receive substantial funding support from the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) through the Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre Cancer Theme which supports infrastructure across the Cambridge Biomedical Campus including the Cancer Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory (CMDL), Cambridge Cancer Trials Centre (CCTC), sample collection and the Human Research Tissue Bank, as well as the departments and institutes involved in translational research.
The Mark Foundation Institute for Integrated Cancer Medicine is funded by The Mark Foundation for Cancer Research.
