Cancer Research UK seeks to attract the best postdoctoral researchers to perform groundbreaking cancer research. The purpose of the Research Travel Awards is to enable ambitious postdoctoral researchers to visit research groups elsewhere in the UK or overseas to:
Introduce new expertise, techniques or skills to the travelling scientist’s current research group  Establish or develop collaborations between research groups  Develop their own research career with a view to becoming an independent researcher  Attend a skills-based training course  Pursue a cancer-related project if they do not currently work in cancer research
Research Travel Awards are considered by the Research Travel Award Panel.
