The Collaboration Seed Grant from Prostate Cancer Research (PCR), a UK-based charity focused specifically on advanced prostate cancer, provides up to £2,000 to catalyse early-stage collaborative activities between prostate cancer research groups. The grant is designed to lower barriers to initiating new partnerships by funding the practical costs of working together — such as joint experiments, sharing reagents or cell lines, researcher visits for technique training, and hosting specialist workshops or seminars. It is ideal for researchers exploring a new collaboration before committing to a larger joint funding application.
Eligibility Criteria:
- Applicants must be researchers working in prostate cancer, based at a UK academic or research institution or hospital
- Early-career researchers and PhD students are strongly encouraged to apply
- Previously successful applicants must wait one year before reapplying
- Previously unsuccessful applicants should not resubmit the same application unless invited
Funding Details:
- Up to £2,000 per award
- Eligible costs: joint experiments, transporting samples/equipment/cell lines, researcher visits for training or technique-sharing, networking activities, specialist workshops, seminars
- Quarterly review cycle; submit at any time
Deadline:
- Rolling deadline – submit anytime.
