What we want to fund next

With help from the Movember Foundation, we have committed to invest £7 million in research every year for the next three years.

In our new research strategy there are three priority areas. Proposals from researchers must target at least one of these to be considered for funding:

  1. Identifying men at highest risk of developing clinically significant prostate cancer
  2. Distinguishing aggressive prostate cancer from indolent disease
  3. Finding new, targeted treatments for advanced prostate cancer 

Pilot awards, Project grants and Clinical research grants

We welcome applications from established researchers within the UK - who have a strong track record in their field - to undertake innovative science which addresses (at least) one of our three research priority areas. More information about each of these funding opportunities will follow shortly.

In the 2013 Project grants and Pilot award call for applications, we particularly welcome proposals looking at distinguishing aggressive prostate cancer from indolent disease.

Apply now.

Movember Centre of Excellence 

The Movember Centre of Excellence will act as a multi-disciplinary hub for UK prostate cancer research, collaborating with national and international research networks to accelerate the use of new discoveries across the UK. Call for expressions of interest opens 31st October 2012.

Training and Fellowship awards

We are offering a number of awards including PhD studentships, Career Development Fellowships and clinical and non-clinical research training fellowships in partnership with College of Radiographers, Royal College of Surgeons, MRC, Daphne Jackson Trust and Academy of Medical Sciences.

Survivorship Research Funding

Survivorship studies focussed on improving the quality of life of men living with and beyond prostate cancer will now be funded separately to bio-medical research. A new strategy and funding programme is being developed in this area and we expect to open a funding round for survivorship research next year.
