Our research strategy

We are in the process of developing a new research strategy, that will guide our research over the coming years. 

We’re planning to focus on four key areas:

  1. A coordinated, collaborative approach to children and young people’s cancer research
  2. Continue funding the best research, and the best researchers
  3. Lived experience is at the heart of children and young people’s cancer research
  4. Fostering and supporting a thriving children and young people’s cancer research community.

Our new strategy will launch in March 2025. In the meantime, you can read our previous research strategies for children’s cancer research and teenage and young adult cancer research. 

How we fund research

We fund research that improves the treatment, care and support for children and young people with cancer.

Our research projects

We have been funding expert research since 2016, aiming to ensure that every child and young person has a safe and effective treatment for their cancer, and that they can live long and happy lives post-treatment.
