A project grant of up to £60,000 and up to three years is available for a clearly defined research project addressing a key question in paediatric low grade glioma.
The funded project will improve our understanding of the disease and help improve the outlook for children diagnosed with a low grade glioma.
The funding for this project has been raised by Thomas’ Fund, a Special Named Fund at CCLG.
Our project grants may support stand-alone projects, research that is part of a wider project or trial, or research that is likely to lead to a further, larger grant application to a major funder of research.
All areas of research related to low grade glioma will be considered, but we are particularly interested in studies that will improve our understanding of the disease and lead to improvements in diagnosis, treatment and/or outcome.
The deadline for applications is 23:59 on Tuesday 7 August 2018. Applications submitted after the deadline will not be accepted. Funding is available to UK and Ireland based research organisations, i.e. universities and hospitals.

How research applications are selected
Excellent research governance is at the heart of our research decision making. Our independent Research Advisory Group (RAG) overseas our research grant rounds and follows our Principles of Peer Review Policy. All of our RAG members and external peer reviewers are asked to declare any Conflicts of Interest and adhere to our Grant Review Code of Conduct . Following peer review, the RAG will discuss and rank the applications for funding. Final approval comes from our Board of Trustees (which may be delegated to our Executive in the case of Special Named Funds and restricted funds).
