Research Strategy
Research: it's in our DNA
Our Research Strategy is the foundation for our approach to funding world-class cancer research to address the big challenges and key priorities for cancer in Wales, so that we can have the biggest impact for Welsh cancer patients.
Since 1966, Cancer Research Wales has been saving lives through pioneering research. We have funded the best researchers, clinicians and health professionals to push the boundaries of cancer research right here in Wales. Our research delivers hope for people affected by cancer today and will transform the future for the patients of tomorrow.
The pressure on our health systems is enormous - by 2030, it’s estimated that 230,000 people across Wales will be living with cancer. We believe that many of the answers lie in research.
Our Research Strategy for 2024-2029 lays out how we intend to make a difference for cancer patients in Wales through research. Supporting the talented researchers and clinicians across the country to develop and implement innovations is at the core of what we do - throughout the lifetime of this strategy, we aim to go further and have even greater impact, to ensure a brighter future for Welsh cancer patients.
