Call for proposals

Applicants for funding from Against Breast Cancer (ABC) should familiarise themselves with the funding process before applying. Calls for Proposals will be issued by Against Breast Cancer (ABC) and researchers are invited to apply before the advertised deadline date using the template forms provided.

Against Breast Cancer Seed Grants are intended for innovative research projects that have the potential to impact the way metastatic breast cancer is diagnosed, treated or even prevented.

Seed grants are for up to £50,000 and designed for a maximum term of 1 year and can be used for the following purposes

• preliminary data to be gathered to support a larger grant application
• for a stand-alone project to achieve a stated goal
• to enhance an existing funded project if it can be shown that such funding would add significant value and advance the research

Researchers considering submitting an application are required to hold a doctoral degree and be working in a UK based institution.

All proposals should be in line with our Research Strategy and lead applicants will have a strong publishing record. Collaborative applications involving researchers or institutions from anywhere in the world are invited, as long as the lead applicant’s host institution is in the UK and the majority of the research takes place in the UK. If collaborators are included in the proposal, they will be required to provide a letter of support for the project as part of the application.
