Marie Curie Cancer Care has launched a major new drive to extend palliative care research in line with its core activity of providing palliative and end of life caring services.
We believe that by investing in high-quality palliative care research we can provide immediate and longer-term benefits to people with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses towards the end of life.
Marie Curie Cancer Care’s ambition is to be known as a leader in end of life care research and development that brings direct benefits to patients and families.
Over the last year we have taken forward a number of funding activities, both independently and in partnership with other organisations, to expand our research portfolio in end of life care.
We are awarding research project grants in open competition to the Marie Curie Cancer Care Research Programme and the Dimbleby Marie Curie Cancer Care Research Fund.
All applications are subject to a process of external peer review before the final decision is made at a meeting of an independent funding committee.
