RESEARCH AND INNOVATION FUND
Prostate Cymru is the leading charity in the Principality which aims to support the community and medical profession in Wales in the fight against all prostate diseases, benign and malignant.
To date we have supported major initiatives to raise awareness of prostate cancer and improve the management of men with prostate cancer in Wales by funding specific projects such as surgeon training for robotic assisted prostate surgery.
PROSTATE CYMRU OBJECTIVES

RESEARCH AND INNOVATION FUND
Prostate Cymru is pleased to confirm a new initiative to support research projects relating to prostate disease in Welsh men. These ‘one off’ grants can be used to fund small projects or act as a ‘pump priming’ grant to stimulate larger projects. Applications for grants up to £10,000 are invited in the following areas:
- Scientific and clinical research
- Innovations in the investigation, diagnosis and treatment of prostate disease
