Marie Curie Cancer Care Research Programme

Call open for research to improve quality of care

The aim of the Marie Curie Cancer Care (MCCC) Research Programme is to provide evidence to inform better quality of care for those with advanced and progressive illnesses which are likely to shorten their lives within the foreseeable future.

We have committed to spend up to £1 million per year for three years to fund high quality research with the potential to improve end of life care for those with cancer and other advanced progressive life threatening conditions.

Marie Curie Cancer Care will be assisted by Cancer Research UK, who will administer the application process and grant funding.

Find out more about the 2012 call for applications.
