Greater Manchester Cancer Awards 2022

Research Award

Greater Manchester is home to some cutting-edge cancer research and this award celebrates the teams or projects that can turn new scientific discoveries into improvements to cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment, offering real benefits to our patients and the public.

Our judges are looking for:

  • An explanation of the project or team and their research objectives and outcomes
  • Evidence of working with patients or members of the public to help to shape the project
  • Evidence of how this research could provide a measurable impact for patients
  • The team or project must be working within cancer research facilities with the majority of researchers or leads based in Greater Manchester

This is the entry form for the Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance Research Award 2022. Please use this space to tell our judges about the project, team or service that you are entering.

Please get straight to the point - remember our judges will have a lot to read!

Each category asks different questions, so please don't copy and paste as you may miss some of the most important questions.
