The Association for International Cancer Research (AICR) funds cutting-edge research into the casues of cancer. It is now accepting submissions for the first round of its research grants for 2010, which support fundamental or translational research into the causes, mechanisms, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cancer. The AICR also has a limited amount of funds - the Spotlight fund - set aside for research into prostate cancer.

Applications will be accepted until 30 April for basic science projects lasting between one and three years, although projects with a small clinical element will be considered.
