Applications to Dimbleby Cancer Care Research Fund
We welcome applications from anyone whose proposed research fits the following criteria:
- leads to a better understanding of the support needs of patients, and their families and carers, from diagnosis through treatment, to recovery or end of life – and to discover how these needs can best be met
- offers improved psychosocial care to patients, their families and carers
- facilitates better communication and continuity of care throughout a patient’s cancer journey
- tests the efficacy of, and improves, existing support strategies
The application process takes place once a year. It involves completing and submitting an initial short application form.
The initial applications are considered by our Advisory Board and a shortlist is drawn up. (To find out who is on our Advisory Board, click here).
Shortlisted applicants are invited to complete a detailed application and, after close scrutiny and discussion among the Board, funds are awarded to those projects deemed appropriate.
