Research Grant
Neuroblastoma UK invites applications for UK or Republic of Ireland (ROI) led research that will benefit children with neuroblastoma.
A wide range of basic and applied research applications will be considered for funding, from studies to understand the origin and development of neuroblastomas to research that aims to develop new therapeutic approaches, improve existing treatments or explore treatment synergies.
Research that aims to establish a “proof of principle” for further research will also be considered. Grants will be evaluated by peer review and by our Scientific Advisory Board before a decision is made by the Trustee Board.
Applications for our 2024 Grant Round have now closed.

Innovation Grants
Throughout the year, we consider applications and allocate small amounts of funding for innovative research into neuroblastoma.
Our Innovation Grant (Formerly known as Small Grants programme) helps researchers develop projects that aim to improve our understanding of how neuroblastomas develop. This funding may then lead to form larger grant applications for novel, more effective approaches to treatment.
With these grants (of up to £5,000), we can enable researchers to increase the impact of their work, help them to explore synergies between separate research efforts and to take forward new projects.

Conflict of Interest
Neuroblastoma UK makes every effort to ensure that its decisions are fair, objective and transparent.
For both external reviewers and members of the Scientific Advisory Board, a conflict of interest policy is in place to seek to avoid the involvement of individuals with a conflict of interest in relation to an application through its review process.
Code of Conduct
Reviewers have a right to expect that their comments will be treated in confidence by both Neuroblastoma UK’s staff, trustees and other members of a peer review group.
Applicants should not under any circumstances, directly approach members of the Scientific Advisory Board in connection with their (or another’s) research application.
