Grants submitted to Breakthrough Cancer Research undergo a vigorous process of review before they are potentially awarded funding. This is to ensure they answer our research priorities, have scientific merit, appropriate project design and fulfil an unmet need.
International experts are involved in both Peer Review and our own Scientific Advisory Committee and our Public Patient Panel (PPI) helps determine our research priorities and provide opinion and analysis to grants during the review process.

LEVERAGING
YOUR SUPPORT
OF OUR RESEARCH
Breakthrough has successfully leveraged our own research funding, and continue to do so by partnering in co-funding schemes led by national and international organisations. This shrewd approach unlocks the potential to invest in even more research, helping funds raised go even further. In these instances, our funding process adjusts to align our process and that of that partner agency.
