Data for Children’s and Young People’s Cancer Programme Award

The Data for Children’s and Young People’s Cancer Programme Award is a research grant supporting data- and AI-driven approaches addressing cancers in children and young people. It funds projects that generate novel insights, create or improve data resources for the wider research community, and develop scalable, generalisable data solutions. Awards encourage international and industry collaboration and expect patient and public involvement and engagement.

Project funding up to £2.5m and support for up to 5 years; membership of a collaborative data network for successful teams.

Applicants must be based at a research institution appropriately accredited or registered in the country in which it is based (this can be in the UK, the US or another country). For UK applicants, at the time of funding they must be in a post fully funded by the relevant national Higher Education Funding Council, the NHS or equivalent, guaranteed for the duration of the award.

Applicants submit an outline application (template provided) and supporting materials; a webinar recording with guidance is available.
