Research Programmes

The WCRF global network is dedicated to funding innovative research on the role of food, nutrition, physical activity and weight management in relation to cancer around the world. To achieve this, the network operates two research grant programmes that provide similar funding opportunities in different regions of the world:

• WCRF International research grant programme based in London, UK
• AICR research grant programme based in Washington DC

Applications for the WCRF International Grant Programme will be accepted from anywhere in the world except the Americas (North America including Canada, Central America including the Caribbean and South America). Applications from the Americas will be accepted by the AICR Grant Programme.

WCRF International manages and administers the International Research Grant Programme (consisting of the Regular Grant Programme and the Request for Application (RFA) Programme) on behalf of its member organisations in the UK, the Netherlands, Hong Kong and France. As the principal charity in the area, WCRF International’s Research Grant Programme is dedicated to funding research into cancer development, progression and survival through food, nutrition, physical activity and weight management.
