Annual Funding

Our Institute is one of four Cancer Research UK Institutes, receiving £21.1 million a year in core funding from the charity. This core funding enables the Institute to provide an outstanding environment in which to train and develop scientists. The award supports our core facilities and allows Research Group Leaders to expand their teams and explore innovative new ideas.

Along with the core funding, the research in the Institute is funded by a number of organisations. We currently have 139 active research grants at the Institute, with £10.8 million received from Cancer Research UK and the remainder from many other funding bodies.

Overall, the total funding of the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute for 2022/23 is £57.5 million.
