Directly or indirectly, cancer will touch everyone's lives. There is no greater or more worthwhile challenge than the ongoing battle to develop and improve anti-cancer treatments, for everyone's sake.

Funding of Awards for 2009
At the January meeting of the Yorkshire Cancer Research Council of Management the following measures were agreed:
- For YCR's financial year ending 31st March 2010 not to fund any application which would significantly drain the YCR reserves. It should be noted that this would primarily affect applications for Capital Awards.
- In the same vein the number of Clinical Fellowship Awards will be limited to a maximum of three to be running at any one time. Currently two Clinical Fellowships have been awarded and so applicants for a third place will be judged on competitive grounds. Once a total of three Awards have been made no more applications will be accepted until further notice.
- The number of Researcher/Senior Researcher Awards will be limited to no more than one in each category at any one time.
- The number of Professorial Fellowships will be limited to one running at any one time.
These actions will be regularly reviewed. Anyone seeking clarification as to how many Awards are currently in place should contact YCR via: admin@ycr.org.uk.
Our Scientific Advisory Committee meets twice a year to decide which Project and Equipment Awards to fund.
Yorkshire Cancer Research has developed separate downloadable Word application forms for Project Awards and Equipment Awards. These forms and the Awards Handbook may change, so please check the YCR website before the application deadline. YCR will not change the application form or associated documents within one month preceding any deadline. If you would like to apply for a Project Award or an Equipment Award, please download the associated application form and the Awards Handbook.
Pump Priming Awards, Travel Awards, and PhD studentships also have application forms that can be downloaded from the website.
For other Awards detailed in the Awards Handbook which require an application form, please contact YCR (science@ycr.org.uk) for a copy of the application form along with information regarding availability and deadlines. Please ensure you have read 'Funding of Awards for 2009' beforehand.
