Cancer Research Wales Fellowships

Cancer research fellowships at universities in Wales are available to support the development of early career oncologists.

Founded in 1966, Cancer Research Wales (CRW) is a charity dedicated to funding Welsh cancer research. It works alongside government and other decision makers on research and policy matters concerning cancer in Wales. Through its work, CRW aims to improve cancer services in the country, ensuring better outcomes for patients. 

In order to recruit and retain high quality cancer researchers in Wales and to support a strong research ecosystem, CRW has launched a call to fund fellowships. These fellowships are intended to provide career development opportunities for young researchers and clinicians. The call will support projects in any field relevant to cancer and is not restricted to any particular type of cancer. Research will align with the charity’s Research Strategy, which comprises four broad themes:

• Discovery and translational research
• Screening, prevention and early diagnosis
• Better treatments
• Health systems and outcomes research
