Science : Cancer Research UK is offering grants to the collaborative research teams that submit the best proposals for solving one of seven grand challenges in cancer. The charity says it expects to pay out £100 million ($150 million) over the next five years, with each winning team receiving up to £20 million ($30 million). Among the challenges are better cancer diagnosis, development of a cancer-preventing vaccine, and improved mapping of tumors at the molecular and cellular levels. The teams can be international, but at least 25% of the grant money must be spent in the UK. The deadline for the first round of proposals is February 2016.
