Brain: Tumours
(asked on 5th December 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many brain tumour research applications have been received by the National Institute of Health Research to date.
In May the Government announced £40 million over the next five years for brain tumour research as part of the Dame Tessa Jowell Brain Cancer Mission.
Funding will be invested through the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) to support a wide range of research from early translation (experimental medicine) through clinical and on to applied research, and we rely on researchers to submit high-quality research proposals in this complex area.
The following table shows the amount of applications received since the NIHR was established:
